A_12 9.3 Metamorphic Rocks Reading Check

Metamorphic rocks form when...

• existing rock material is melted and cools

• sediment and rock material is deposited, compacted and cemented

• mineral rich water evaporates

• intense heat and pressure cause an existing rock to change into a new rock

Granite (igneous rock) becomes what metamorphic rock?

• sandstone

• shale

• pumice

• gneiss

The word metamorphic means?

• melting and solidification

• compaction and cementation

• change of form

• change of rock

The two type of metamorphic rocks are?

• clastic and organic

• organic and chemical

• foliated and clastic

• foliated and nonfoliated

The word foliated comes from the Latin word foliatus which means?

Metamorphic rocks form at what locations? (Click all that apply)

• where magma is pushed up and is contact with the surrounding rock

• where tectonic plates collide

• where melted rock erupts

• where layers of sediment form

What are the two main types of metamorphic rocks and how are they different?

• intrusive and extrusive; intrusive rocks are formed inside the earth and extrusive rocks are formed on the surface
• foliated and nonfoliated; foliated rocks do not have visible bands/layers and nonfoliated rocks do have visible bands/layers
• intrusive and extrusive; intrusive rocks are formed on the earth's surface and extrusive rocks are formed in the Earth
• foliated and nonfoliated; foliated rocks have visible bands/layers and nonfoliated rocks do not have visible bands/layers

Which of these is a metamorphic rock?

• pumice
• sandstone
• slate
• coal
