This type of metamorphic rock forms when limestone is subjected to heat and/or pressure.
What is marble?
This is a rock formed from non-sorted sediment containing large rounded pebbles, sand and silt, cemented together
What is conglomerate?
Which type of sedimentary rock is formed from the remains of plants or animals?
What is biological sedimentary rock
This type of rock is metamorphosed sandstone
What is quartzite
This is the type of sedimentary rock that usually forms on an ancient beach, dunes, or desert. It is well sorted consisting of mainly sand.
What is sandstone
Is marble foliated or non-foliated?
what is non-foliated
This type of metamorphic rock forms from low grade metamorphism of shale
What is slate
What is limestone?
This type of metamorphic rock forms from mid-grade metamorphism and contains minerals such as shiny muscovite mica and garnets in a foliated texture.
What is schist
This type of sedimentary rock often forms at the bottom of lakes, clastic in nature, and easily broken into thin brittle layers of very fine grained sediment.
What is shale
What typically causes contact metamorphism?
What is magma intrusion?
This type of metamorphic rock is highly foliated with bands of light and dark minerals and forms from the highest grade of metamorphism.
What is gneiss
This type of metamorphism forms from contact with hot, iron rich water.
What is hydrothermal metamorphism?
This type of sedimentary rock is chemical and is formed from the precipitation of seawater. The easiest but not always safest way to identify this rock is to lick it.
What is halite (rock salt)
What Earth process is usually the culprit behind regional metamorphism?
What is plate tectonics ( convergence)
