METAMORPHISM

A. Directions: Complete the sentence below by writing the correct word/phrase.


notebook/paper.17+ 1 pts.
Write your answer on your ES notebook/paper.

1. Metamorphism is the alteration of rock’s Chemical composition, mineral components and


texture.
2. Metamorphic rocks are formed when rocks are subjected to significant changes in
temperature and pressure.
3. Confining pressure is exerted equally from all directions
directions,, whereas directed pressure is force
exerted unequally in different directions
directions.
recrystallization may align minerals parallel
4. In the presence directed pressure, recrystallizati p to the
force/stress applied on the rocks.
5. Regional metamorphism takes place where both high and temperatures are imposed
over large parts of the crust and usually takes place in continental plate boundaries.
6. Contact metamorphism is the localized transformation or rocks near to igneous intrusions
mainly as a result of high temperatures.
7. Other types of metamorphism are shock, burial, and high pressure.
8. Foliation is created by alignment of minerals under directed pressure.
9. Granoblastic rocks are contact metamorphic rocks composed mainly of crystals that grow
in large size and distinct shapes.
10. Metasomatism
matism occurs when the change in rock’s composition is due to interactions with
fluids.
