Geo 101 Metamorphic Rocks Quiz 100%
Correct!!
contact metamorphism - ANSWERSoccurs when a magma chamber intrudes the surrounding rock; the
heat from the magma metamorphoses the surrounding rock
regional metamorphism - ANSWERSoccurs when pressure builds up in rock that is buried deep below
other rock formations or when large pieces of the Earth's crust collide with each other (the increased
pressure and temperature causes rock to become deformed and chemically changed)
Metasomatism - ANSWERSVery hot, element-rich waters cause metamorphism at spreading centers;
Metal ores are deposited
Recrystallization - ANSWERSa metamorphic process that occurs under situations of intense temperature
and pressure where grains, atoms or molecules of a rock or mineral are packed closer together, creating
a new crystal structure.
hydrothermal alteration - ANSWERSmetamorphism as a result of exposure to hot fluids passing through
permeable rocks
quartzite - ANSWERSparent: Sandstone
non-foliated
marble - ANSWERSparent: limestone
non-foliated
fizzes
slate - ANSWERSparent rock: shale
foliated
