Cha-changes Metamorphic Rock
How does metamorphic rock form? An already existing rock can change due to tremendous heat and/or pressure. This change is called metamorphism.
How does metamorphic rock form? Temperature Most metamorphism occurs at temperatures between 150 deg C to 1, 000 deg C. Rocks don’t necessarily always melt at high temperatures because they still might be under high pressure.
How does metamorphic rock form? Pressure Layers of rock can push down and change a rock. Both pressure and heat can make a rock change its composition.
How does metamorphic rock form? FOLIATION If under enough pressure, the minerals in a rock can move slowly during metamorphism. Stripes (foliation) are made by certain minerals lining up. Examples include gneiss.
How does metamorphic rock form? CONTACT METAMORPHISM REGIONAL METAMORPHISM
How does metamorphic rock form? Metamorphic structures include folds like these seen in Labrador, Canada.
What are metamorphic rocks made of? Certain minerals will change within a rock if under enough heat or pressure. quartz calcite hematite garnet
How do geologists classify metamorphic rock? Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been changed in form due to heat, pressure, and chemical alteration. FOLIATED Slate Schist Gneiss NONFOLIATED Marble Quartzite
How do geologists classify metamorphic rock? FOLIATED NON FOLIATED
Where did I come from? ? ? Slate • Comes from shale (sed. ) Schist • Comes from slate, which comes from shale!!! Gneiss • Comes from Granite (ign. ) Marble • Comes from limestone (sed) Quartzite • Sandstone changes into quartzite. and that stuff comes from QUARTZ… the hardest common mineral yea!!!
Discovery Channel Marble Mineral Marvel Stone How do you get marble? ? ?
That’s gneiss schist!!!
YES!!! She thinks they are real rocks! Sucker!!!
Name that Rock Type!!! Igneous, Sedimentary, or Metamorphic? READY? ? !!
Intrusive or extrusive igneous
Sandstone or siltstone sedimentary
Deposition in layers sedimentary
Cemented together with mud sedimentary
Made by heat and pressure metamorphic
Obsidian, granite, and basalt Igneous
Foliated like gneiss Metamorphic
Clastic, organic, or chemical Sedimentary
Felsic or mafic magma Igneous
Minerals are chemically changed metamorphic
Marble, schist, or slate metamorphic
Made from lava or magma Igneous
Could have fossils sedimentary
