Lesson 4:3 Metamorphic Rocks

Which type of rock is characterized by layers and bands of minerals caused by high pressure during metamorphism?

• clastic

• biochemical

• foliated

• nonfoliated

Which is a common nonfoliated rock?

• slate

• marble

• gneiss

• sandstone

What local effect occurs when molten material comes in contact with solid rock?

• contact metamorphism

• regional metamorphism

• hydrothermal metamorphism

• mechanical metamorphism

What is true of the rock cycle?

• Rocks rarely change from one type to another.

• Sedimentary rocks crystallize from magma.

• Metamorphic rocks do not change.

• Any rock can change into any other rock.

What word fills in the blank label in the rock cycle?

• deposition

• lithification

• magma

• mineral
