Metamorphic Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Slate(Metamorphic) ~ -low-grade metamorphism -fine gained - originally mudrocks, and volcanic ash Phyllite (Metamorphic) ~ -glassy sheen an wavy texture -more temp and pressure than slate -Composed mainly of fine crystals of muscovite and chlorite Schist(Metamorphic) ~ -Medium to coarse grained -schist describes its texture(strongly foliated aka schistosity) More temp and pressure than phyllite Gneiss(Metamorphic) ~ -Medium to coarse-grained -High-grade metamorphism(very high temp ...

Geology 1114 Test 1 Exam Questions And Answers (Verified And Updated) Flux melting most likely occurs at: (A) Mid-ocean ridges. (B) Transform faults. (C) Subduction zones. (D) None of the above - answer(C) Subduction zones. Decompression melting occurs as a result of: (A) Decrease of the confining pressure as the Core rises to shallower depth. (B) Increase of the confining pressure as the asthenosphere rises to shallower depth. (C) Decrease of the confining pressure as the lithosphere ...

Metamorphic Rock - correct answer -mineralogy, texture and/or composition has changed due to pressure, temperature and/or fluids (and enough time) Metasomatic Rock - correct answer -A metamorphic rock whose whole bulk chemical composition was altered during interaction with fluids Role of Pressure - correct answer -a result of overlying weight and/or horizontally oriented forces developed as the rocks are deformed. Greater weight tends to decrease space available for mineral growth, so the...
