Aim: What environmental factors are needed to form a metamorphic rock? Do Now: What do you think the word metamorphism means?
Metamorphism To Change Form 2 types of metamorphism Regional and Contact
Where does metamorphism usually take place? Areas of INTENSE HEAT AND PRESSURE
Contact Metamorphism Hot magma moves into rock LOW GRADE Example: Limestone Marble
Regional Metamorphism Occurs during mountain-building HIGH GRADE Example: ShaleGneiss
Agents of Metamorphism HEAT AND PRESSURE Both heat and pressure INCREASE with depth
Heat Heat drives RECRYSTALLIZATION (Creates new minerals)
Pressure Tends to create new minerals Forms bands because of MINERAL ALIGNMENT
Classification (Page 7 ESRT) Foliated and Nonfoliated Rocks
Foliated Layered or Banded Appearance
Nonfoliated Rocks Does not have a banded texture Most nonfoliated metamorphic rocks contain only one mineral Quartzite Metaconglomerate
