Quiz Prep
• If a rock totally melts
while it is changing, what
type of rock does it
become?
•Igneous
•When pressure
causes foliation,
which way do the
bands go?
• Sideways to the
pressure, just like if
you squash a ball of
clay
BEFORE
AFTER
•What is Contact
metamorphosis?
•Metamorphosis
caused by contact
with heat, such as
rock near a volcano
• Where is contact
metamorphism most
likely to cause
metamorphic rocks to
form?
•In Small areas, like
near the volcano
• Metamorphic Rocks
that have bands of
crystals OR many
layers are what class of
metamorphic Rock?
•FOLIATED
metamorphic
rock
•What type of
foliation ( Banding)
does Gneiss have?
•NICE easy to
see bands of
color
•Schist, gneiss, mica,
slate and phylite are
all what class of
metamorphic rocks?
•FOLIATED
•Foliation occurs
when pressure
causes what to
happen to the
crystals in the rock?
•The crystals flatten
and fuse together
•What is regional
metamorphosis?
•Metamorphosis
caused across a
large region
•What could
cause regional
metamorphosis
?
•Continental
collision
• Regional
metamorphism is most
likely to cause what
type of metamorphic
rocks to form?
Rocks that need
high pressure to
form such as all of
the foliated rocks.
