Compare and contrast metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.

form from intense heat and pressure

form from cementation and compaction

form as a result of the rock cycle

can be formed from other types of rock

Match each agent of metamorphism with the type of change it causes.

causes recrystallization or new minerals to form

causes compaction and recrystallization

cause recrystallization and an overall change in composition

In the rock cycle, which type of rocks are formed by processes powered by the sun?

No rocks are formed by energy from the sun.

During the rock cycle, a rock that undergoes cooling and solidification, resulting in two distinctly different crystal sizes, is known as...

...a rock with a porphyritic texture.

...a rock with a coarse-grained texture.

...a rock with a fine-grained texture.

...a rock with a glassy texture.

During the rock cycle, a rock that forms from cooling magma and is composed almost entirely of quartz and feldspars is known as...

...a rock with a granitic composition.

...a rock with an andesitic composition.

...a rock with an ultramafic composition.

...a rock with a basaltic composition.

Why can two rocks, formed at different stages of the rock cycle, have the same minerals but different names?

The rocks may have different textures.

The rocks may have different colors.

The rocks may be found in different areas.

The rocks may be of different sizes.

According to Figure 3-2, which of the following is responsible for the formation of rock gypsum?

precipitation from a water solution

recrystallization from high temperatures and high pressures

A geologist is studying the rock cycle and comes across a fossil in a sedimentary rock. What could be a potential use of this fossil?

indicating when the rock formed

matching rocks of the same age found in different places

During a field trip, you found a rock that has undergone the rock cycle. In which of the following locations is this rock most likely to have transformed into a metamorphic rock?

8 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface

on the slopes of an active volcano

In the rock cycle, the heat for the transformation of sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock is primarily supplied by...

...frictional heating along a fault.

During the rock cycle, which of the following does NOT contribute to the transformation of rocks into a metamorphic state?

minerals from a hydrothermal solution

During the rock cycle, when a rock undergoes metamorphism, which of the following changes may occur?

All of these changes may occur.

Certain minerals in the rock may recrystallize.

The rock may become more compact.

Crystals within the rock may grow larger.
