PPT-Metamorphic Rocks

Bell ringer Looking at the pictures what do you think metamorphic rocks are What are Metamorphic Rocks Metamorphism means to change form Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form when . Rocks 3 - Metamorphic Rocks Rocks that form when a pre - existing rock ( protolith ) changes due to temperature or pressure, and/or as a result of squashing or shearing. Protolith – the pre - e 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. Sedimentary. Igneous. Metamorphic. Sedimentary Rock. Write the term and what you believe it to mean. Sedimentary. Contains sediments. Sediments can include:. mud, sand, pebbles, shells, bones, leaves, stems and other remains of living things. LOWER-GRADE REGIONAL METAMORPHICS. Slate, Phyllite, . “Greenstone” and Schist. 2. Metamorphic Rock Definition. A sedimentary, igneous, or previously existing metamorphic rock which has undergone textural, structural, and/or mineralogical changes due to the action of one or more agents of metamorphism.

Hornfels, Skarns, Talc-Tremolite Schist, and Epidosite. 2. Contact and Dynamic Metamorphism. The rocks in this lab are formed either by contact metamorphism or by dynamic metamorphism associated with movement along a fault. There are three different types of rocks .
