Phyllite
Gneiss
Schist
Slate
How do you describe the grain size texture of Hornfels?
It has fine texture
It has coarse texture
It has coarse to fine texture
It has medium coarse texture
What is the main factor that affects regional metamorphism?
Heat
Fluid
Water
Pressure
What are the main factors for contact metamorphism to occur?
air and water
heat and reactive fluid
temperature and water
pressure and temperature
Which of the following rock sample contains fine texture?
Gneiss
Hornfels
Quartzite
Metaconglomerate
What rock is the result of the metamorphism of sandstones?
Slate
Schist
Marble
Phyllite
What is the effect of heat and pressure in rocks as there is an increase in
depth?
foliation surfaces shine
low-grade metamorphism
grain size becomes coarse
increase in mineral alignment
Which of the following relationships is INCORRECT?
fine grain: slate
banding: gneiss
non-foliated: phyllite
non-foliated: phyllite
What happens to the grain size of the minerals in rocks when the heat is
increased?
It increases
It decreases
It remains constant
It degrades intermittently
Which of the following words is NOT associated with metamorphism?
Heat
Mantle
Pressure
Weathering
Foliation or lineation happens among deformed rocks due to
pressure and recrystallization of rocks
eruption of magma from the mantle to the crust
increase in temperature in the surrounding area
increase in volume of water as the rocks’ depth increases
How do temperature and pressure affect metamorphism?
Pressure and temperature increase as you go up to the crust
The deeper the rock depth, the higher the pressure and temperature
Foliation happens as there is an increase in the pressure and
temperature
Magma cannot bake the surrounding rocks due to the difference in
temperature
Which of the following DOESN’T belong to the group?
Dolomite
Feldspar
Mica
Quartz
Which of the following is NOT true about metamorphism?
Slate and gneiss are examples of foliated rock
Contact metamorphism creates non-foliated rocks.
Pressure is the main factor of contact metamorphism
Magma will bake the surrounding rocks due to different in temperature
Samer is walking down the river when she sees an unknown metamorphic
rock. Which of the following characteristic can BEST help her to immediately
identify the type of metamorphism that the rock underwent using a
magnifying glass?
foliation
grain size
name of the rock
kind of mineral present in the rock
