What are minerals Common rockforming minerals Physical properties of minerals Basic rock types The rock cycle Minerals Natural Solid Atoms arranged in orderly repeating 3D array crystalline. UNIT . - . 6. What is Metamorphism. Metamorphism. (from the Greek words for “changing form”) is the process by which rising temperature and changes in other environmental conditions transform rocks and minerals. Granite, Alkali Feldspar Granite, Granodiorite, Quartz Monzonite, and Monzonite. 2. IUGS Intrusive Igneous Rock Chart . 3. “Granite”. Rocks in this lab are plutonic. They formed by very slow cooling and show corresponding large crystals. Granite, Alkali Feldspar Granite, Granodiorite, Quartz Monzonite, and Monzonite. 2.
