2 Metamorphic Rock Examples Quartzite Tough building material Anthracite Coal High quality, creates lots of energy when burned

3 Marble Metamorphic Rock: Marble

4 Slate Metamorphic Rock: Slate Used for: Billiards, chalkboards, roofs, floors

5 Metamorphic Rock Examples Gneiss Schist

6 Metamorphic meta  “meta” = to change morph  “morph” = form Parent rocks  Metamorphic rocks are formed from Parent rocks (pre-existing rocks) Igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic  Parent rocks can be Igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks. heat and pressure  Metamorphism  The process through which a rock’s structure is changed by heat and pressure meta  “meta” = to change morph  “morph” = form Parent rocks  Metamorphic rocks are formed from Parent rocks (pre-existing rocks) Igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic  Parent rocks can be Igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks. heat and pressure  Metamorphism  The process through which a rock’s structure is changed by heat and pressure

7 Metamorphic Rocks are Formed from Parent Rocks (Parent Rock) Quartzite is the Metamorphic rock Sandstone is the Parent Rock

8 Parent rock of Marble LimestoneLimestone MarbleMarble Used For: Statues, buildings, countertops 

9 Parent Rocks Metamorphic Rocks are Formed from Parent Rocks SlateSlate ShaleShale Which specimen is the parent rock? ShaleShale

10 Metamorphic Rocks are Formed from Parent Rocks  Parent Rock  The original rock material that forms metamorphic rock  Example:  Parent Rock  The original rock material that forms metamorphic rock  Example:  GraniteGranite GneissGneiss

11 Metamorphic Textures  1. Foliated Rock  Bands of minerals in parallel layers  2. Non-foliated Rock  Without bands

12 Foliated Metamorphic Rock Examples: SchistSchist SlateSlate PhyllitePhyllite

13 Non-foliated Metamorphic Rock Examples: Marble  Quartzite 

14 Metamorphic Environments: Form where there is HEAT & PRESSURE Magma and Friction make HEAT Collisions and Gravity produce PRESSURE

15 Metamorphic Cheer M-E-T-AMET-A-MORPH-IC Heat and Pressure Heat, Heat, and PRESSURE Go…… FOLIATION M-E-T-AMET-A-MORPH-IC Heat and Pressure Heat, Heat, and PRESSURE Go…… FOLIATION

16 METAMORPHIC ROCK  TEXTURES  Foliated (mineral bands)  Non-foliated (no bands, grainy or smooth)  TEXTURES  Foliated (mineral bands)  Non-foliated (no bands, grainy or smooth)

17 METAMORPHIC ROCK  PARENT ROCKS  Sandstone  Quartzite  Limestone  Marble  Shale  Slate  Granite  Gneiss  PARENT ROCKS  Sandstone  Quartzite  Limestone  Marble  Shale  Slate  Granite  Gneiss

18 METAMORPHIC ROCK  META = CHANGE  MORPH = FORM  Metamorphism involves the change in form or structure of a rock through heat and pressure.  META = CHANGE  MORPH = FORM  Metamorphism involves the change in form or structure of a rock through heat and pressure.

19 3 ROCK TYPES:  Igneous -formed from the cooling and crystalization of magma  Sedimentary -formed by the compacting and cementation of layers of sediment  Metamorphic -formed by structural/chemical change due to heat and pressure 3 ROCK TYPES:  Igneous -formed from the cooling and crystalization of magma  Sedimentary -formed by the compacting and cementation of layers of sediment  Metamorphic -formed by structural/chemical change due to heat and pressure

20 Metamorphic Rock Lab  Set up your field notebook (Include Title)  Rotate independently between the 16 stations set up around the room  Start with whichever station number you are located  Round 1: You will have 1 minute at each station  Do not switch to the next station until told to do so  Round 2: You may go back to any unoccupied station, if needed  Set up your field notebook (Include Title)  Rotate independently between the 16 stations set up around the room  Start with whichever station number you are located  Round 1: You will have 1 minute at each station  Do not switch to the next station until told to do so  Round 2: You may go back to any unoccupied station, if needed
