Metamorfismo (Ciencias de la Tierra)

Metamorphism involves heat, pressure, and minerals in hot groundwater, leading to rearrangement and changes in mineral composition. This process creates new rock types like marble and slate.

What are the key factors that contribute to the process of metamorphism?

• Cold temperatures and high pressure

• Minerals dissolved in ice

• Heat, pressure, and minerals dissolved in hot groundwater

• Heat, pressure, and minerals dissolved in cold water

How does metamorphism affect the composition of minerals?

• It dissolves the minerals completely

• It only rearranges the mineral composition

• It rearranges and sometimes changes the mineral composition

• It keeps the mineral composition unchanged

Which of the following is a result of metamorphism?

• Formation of new types of rocks like marble and slate

• Formation of volcanic rocks

• Formation of sedimentary rocks

• Formation of igneous rocks

What is one of the new types of rock formed due to metamorphism?

• Granite

• Limestone

• Basalt

• Marble

Which process is responsible for the creation of slate?

• Metamorphism

• Volcanism

• Sedimentation

• Erosion
