3.4 Metamorphic Rocks Textbook pp 80-84

Metamorphic rocks form when existing rocks are changed by heat and pressure. Metamorphic rocks often look much different from their parent – or original – rocks. Muscovite Mica Mica Schist

Formation of Metamorphic Rocks Most metamorphic changes occur at elevated temperatures and pressures. These conditions are found a few kilometers below Earth’s surface and extend into the upper mantle.

regional metamorphism. Most metamorphism occurs in one of two settings: contact metamorphism or regional metamorphism.

Statue carved from marble, a contact metamorphic rock. Contact Metamorphism When magma intrudes – or forces its way into – rock, contact metamorphism may take place. During contact metamorphism hot magma moves into rock. Statue carved from marble, a contact metamorphic rock.

Contact metamorphism often produces what is described as low-grade metamorphism, which means the changes in the rocks are minor.

Regional Metamorphism The intense changes produced by mountain building – extreme pressure and temperatures – are described as regional metamorphism. Garnet-bearing schist

Regional metamorphism results in large scale deformation and high-grade metamorphism. Mountains composed of igneous rock layers with metamorphic rock cores in South Africa.

Agents of Metamorphism The agents of metamorphism are….. HYDROTHERMAL SOLUTIONS HEAT PRESSURE

The most important agent: HEAT Heat provides the energy needed to: drive chemical reactions. cause existing minerals to crystallize. cause new minerals to form.

The heat for metamorphism comes mainly from two sources: magma and the change in temperature with depth.

Magma essectially “bakes” any rocks that are in contact with it.

(This car is about to be baked by a rather alarming lava flow.)

Pressure - the great equilizer... Pressure, like temperature, increases with depth.

Pressure on rocks causes the spaces between mineral grains to close, resulting in a more compact rock with a greater density.

Increase in temperature and pressure cause rocks to flow rather than fracture.

Reactions in Solution Heated, underground water solutions will make it easier for ions to move, and one type of mineral in a rock to be replaced by another.

Classification of Metamorphic Rocks When rocks undergo contact metamorphism they become more compact and thus more dense.

Foliated Metamorphic Rock Under extreme conditions, certain minerals will recrystalize. This causes the rock to have a banded or layered appearance.

Foliated Metamorphic Rock A metamorphic rock that does not have a banded texture is called a nonfoliated metamorphic rock. Most nonfoliated rocks contain only one mineral.
