METAMORPHIC ROCKS By: Franco Gaite geotripperimages.com
2
met·a·mor·phic rocks 1 of three rock types Rock undergone transformation Densest rock type Early 19 th century meta + morphē + ic the-eo-scene.blogspot.com
3
meta·mor·phism Clipartpanda.com Transformation of rock nature M Pressure, heat & water IS OR
4
Parent rock A.K.A. protolith Any of the three types Original un-metamorphosed rock Bulk Chemical Composition a. P and T reached during metamorphosis b. Composition of fluid phase present c. The bulk chemical composition Physicalgeography.net
5
METAMORPHIC GRADE Geosci.ipfw.edu
6
Low grade Low pressure and temperature Takes place between 200° C to 320° C Characterized by abundance of hydrous minerals. Sodahead.com metamorphism
7
High grade Takes place somewhere higher than 320° C Grade increases = less hydrous minerals Mineral recrystallization accidentlydelish.com metamorphism
8
Contact metamorphism Rocks around magma bodies May or may not be accompanied by deformation Caused by heat transfer from intruded magma youtube.com
9
Regional metamorphism Large area (mountain ranges) Orogeny Convergent zones Intense heat and pressure prezi.com
10
Heat 200° C Transformed using available elements and compounds 600° C to 1,200° C Geothermal gradient ( T D ) Rising magma as a source of energy breathcast.com
11
Geothermal gradient Noun Increasing T & P with increasing depth
12
Pressure Weight of overlying objects Reorientation of mineral crystals Tectonic processes can affect leblogdumanagementdeprojet..com Confining pressure ( P D )
13
Water Found in small amounts along with CO 2 Between pores & crystals ENHANCES metamorphism Dissolves ions by chemical reactions Creates new minerals from chemical ions Uncle-grandpa.wikia.com
14
Foliated rocks Mineral alignment or banding Regional-Intense Pressure Increasing metamorphic grade = intensity of foliation increases At higher grade, the rocks are coarser grained
15
1) Shale 2) Slate 3) Phyllite 4) Schist 5) Gneiss TEMPERATURE & PRESSURE
16
Slate Dark gray or red Breaks into thin flat layers Roofing and floor tiles Wikipedia.org
17
Phyllite Layers aren’t flat Wave-like pattern Silky appearance virtualmicroscope.org
18
Schist Distinct sparkle Mica crystals Garnet crystals or staurolite crystals = bumpy surface Wikipedia.org
19
Gneiss Highly metamorphosed Almost a granite Lenses of feldspar Ribon-like pattern squarespace.com
20
Non-foliated Form through Contact metamorphism Dependent on the precursor’s composition Identified on the basis of composition No mineral alignment Monomineralic
21
Marble Metamorphosed limestone Recrystallized Color & texture White to Pink to Brown and Black ebay.com
22
Quartzite Metamorphosed sandstone Grains are tightly cemented If quartzite is broken in half, It also cuts the individual sand grains geology.about.com
23
Serpentine Olivine Pyroxene Light green to dark green Veins and fractures earthphysicsteaching.homestead.com
24
Hornfel Dark shale Siltstone Basalt Light gray to dark black wikimedia.com
