Worksheet time: 4mins
It takes place when pressure and temperature are increased.
prograde metamorphism
retrograde metamorphism
dynamic metamorphism
regional metamorphism
It occurs when rocks are buried to depths of several hundred meters.
dynamic metamorphism
contact metamorphism
burial metamorphism
shock metamorphism
It takes place mostly along mid-ocean ridges, where ocean water is heated by nearby magma to form hydrothermal fluids.
hydrothermal metamorphism
regional metamorphism
burial metamorphism
contact metamorphism
It occurs along plate boundaries or faults.
dynamic metamorphism
contact metamorphism
burial metamorphism
hock metamorphism
Which is TRUE about regional metamorphism?
It occurs over small areas that experience differential stress.
It occurs when two bodies of rockslides past each other along faults.
It occurs over large areas that experience differential stress.
All of these explain regional metamorphism.
It takes place when pressure and temperature are decreased.
prograde metamorphism
retrograde metamorphism
dynamic metamorphism
regional metamorphism
It occurs adjacent to igneous intrusions/ magma chamber.
dynamic metamorphism
contact metamorphism
burial metamorphism
shock metamorphism
This type of metamorphism occurs due to impact of heat and pressure from meteorites.
dynamic metamorphism
contact metamorphism
burial metamorphism
shock metamorphism
During the process of shock metamorphism, what would likely happen to rocks if they get in contact with the tremendous heat from the meteorites?
melt or vaporize
break into smaller pieces
become shiny or lustrous
turn into meteorites
Why do we have to study metamorphic grade?
To regulate the changes of rocks
To determine the geologic history of rocks
To produce more rocks
To discover the chemical properties of rocks
