2. Key Terms
Create a flash card for the following key terms (p. 141 in textbook):
Metamorphism
Contact metamorphism
Regional metamorphism
Foliation
Nongoliated
If you finish early, study your flash cards!

3. Metamorphism
Metamorphism is the process in which 1 type of rock changes into a metamorphic rock due to extreme heat or pressure.
There are 2 types of metamorphism that occur in the Earth’s crust:
Contact Metamorphism
Regional Metamorphism

4. Metamorphism Contact Magma comes into direct contact with rock
Only a small section of rock affected
Regional
Metamorphism over very large areas.
Occurs during platonic activity due to changes in temperature and pressure

5. Metamorphic Rock Video Clip

6. Texture of Metamorphic Rock
Minerals arranged in planes or bands = FOLIATION
Caused by extreme pressure
A physical property; minerals are not changed chemically, just a change in shape
Rocks that do not have bands or aligned minerals = NONFOLIATED
The original rock had little or no minerals or the original rock grains are round or square and therefore do not change position (no long sides) when pressure is coming from one direction.
Which type of rock is it? Foliated. Nonfoliated.
