Please copy into your IAN! Metamorphic Rocks Chapter 4. 4 Objectives: 1. Describe two ways a rock can undergo metamorphism. 2. Describe the difference between foliated and nonfoliated metamorphic rock.

III. Composition A. Original Minerals become new! 1. Index Minerals (Chlorite, Mica, Garnet) 2. Example Below!

n Please open your IAN to your Metamorphic Rocks notes/Roman Outline n Review the 2 classifications of these rocks.


! e r u IV. Textures A. Foliated 1. Bands or Planes & t r P s s e a e H 2. Schist Mica, Chlorite, Gneiss, Slate 3. Shale (sed) =Slate (Meta) 4. Slate (meta) = Phyllite (meta) 5. Phyllite (meta) = Schist Mica (meta) = Gneiss! B. Nonfoliated

B. Nonfoliated 1. No Bands, not aligned, scattered 2. Crystallization occurs 3. Sandstone + Quartz = Quartzite 4. Limestone + Calcite = Marble V. Structures A. Deformation: _____(Silly Putty) 1. Squeezed or Stretched 30 x the size 2. Creates folds and bands



In Summary: Metamorphic Rocks n Meta. Rocks occur when the structure, texture or composition has changed. n Heat and pressure can change the existing minerals into new minerals. n Metamorphic rock structures are caused by deformation. (silly putty)

Metamorphic Classification n Contact metamorphism: Happens when rock comes in very close contact with a magma chamber. This forms more from heat than pressure. (pancake batter) n Regional metamorphism: happens when rock is under tremendous pressure from plate tectonics. Forms more from pressure than heat. (peanut butter cookies pressed with a fork)


2 Types of Texture n Foliated – the texture of metamorphic rock in which the mineral grains are arranged in planes or bands. – Examples : Slate, gneiss n Nonfoliated – the texture in which the mineral grains are not arranged in planes or bands – Examples: quartzite, marble

Basics: Which are nonfoliated?

We heard it, we did it, now let’s see it again! n Metamorphic n Now Rocks Review let’s review our lab and analyze our qualitative observations!
