Metamorphic Rocks Sedimentary Rock Quiz tomorrow ! (Half Period Quiz)

2 Aim: What environmental factors are needed to form a metamorphic rock?
Do Now: What do you think the word metamorphism means?

3 Metamorphism To Change Form 2 types of metamorphism
Regional and Contact

Areas of INTENSE HEAT AND PRESSURE

5 Contact Metamorphism Hot magma moves into rock LOW GRADE Example:
Limestone  Marble

6 Regional Metamorphism
Occurs during mountain-building HIGH GRADE Example: ShaleGneiss

7 Agents of Metamorphism
HEAT AND PRESSURE Both heat and pressure INCREASE with depth

8

9 Heat Heat drives RECRYSTALLIZATION (Creates new minerals)

10 Pressure Tends to create new minerals
Forms bands because of MINERAL ALIGNMENT

11 Classification (Page 7 ESRT)
Foliated and Nonfoliated Rocks

12

13 Foliated Layered or Banded Appearance

14 Nonfoliated Rocks Does not have a banded texture
Most nonfoliated metamorphic rocks contain only one mineral Quartzite Metaconglomerate

15 Homework Textbook HW (Sedimentary Rock HW) Read Pages 70-74
Answer HW problems #1-7
