Quiz#3 Metamorphism, Stress, Faults, and Folds

This change occurs primarily due to heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids.

• Convection

• Stratification

• Parasitism

• Metamorphism

Rocks are altered due to high pressure.

• Contact

• Dynamic

• Regional

• Metamorphism

It results in the breaking of the large parts of the crust into smaller sizes.

• Tension

• Compressional

• Shear force

• Metamorphism

This can make the rocks come together or make the plates rise.

• Tension

• Compressional

• Shear force

• Metamorphism

It is the process where the country-rock adjacent to the igneous intrusions is altered by the high heat coming from the intrusions.

• Compression

• Regional metamorphism

• Dynamic metamorphism

• Contact metamorphism

It moved the oceanic crust away from each other which resulted in the rising of less dense rocks coming from the mantle.

• Compression

• Plate tectonic

• Shear

• Tension
