Ch 6 metamorphic rock quiz 100%
Accurate!!
A rock experienced melting then cooling, burial to deep depths during mountain building, and then uplift
and weathering. Which pathway did this rock take through the rock cycle? - ANSWERSIgneous →
metamorphic → sedimentary
A rock high in slate and chlorite is likely a(n) - ANSWERSlow-grade metamorphic rock.
As they pass through the rock cycle, all atoms - ANSWERSdo not move through the rock cycle at the
same rate.
During metamorphism, the process that changes the crystal structure of a mineral without changing its
chemical composition is called - ANSWERSphase change
Identify the metamorphic process that causes grains to warp and/or elongate but not melt or dissolve. -
ANSWERSPlastic deformation
In a rock undergoing metamorphosis, which type of stress occurs when one part of a rock moves
sideways relative to the rest of the rock? - ANSWERSShear stress
Metamorphic grade is determined mainly by - ANSWERStemperature.
Shale, a sedimentary rock, can be subjected to high heat and pressure through - ANSWERSburial during
continental collision.
The fine-grained foliated metamorphic rock formed from the metamorphism of shale or mudstone is
called - ANSWERSslate
