About metamorphic rocks flashcards
GoConqr OriginalUsing Metamorphic Rocks flashcards
The decks on this page cover links between metamorphic rocks and their parent rocks, as well as textures, mineralogy and terms used to describe metamorphism. They offer ways to practise at both university and school level.
Start with Parent Rocks of Metamorphic Rocks if you want to practise matching rocks such as slate, gneiss and marble with their parent rocks. For vocabulary, Metamorphic Terms includes protolith, recrystallisation and foliation.
Build a revision routine
Work through a deck, then return to the cards you found difficult. The deck on rock names based on texture covers slate, phyllite and schist; the deck on names based on mineralogy includes quartzite and marble. Comparing these decks can help you practise different ways of naming rocks.
If you want a fuller explanation, switch to notes on the unit page. A quiz there can help you check what you remember after using the cards. Pick a topic and explore the decks.
Frequently asked questions
Which flashcards should I start with?
For rock names and their parent rocks, start with Parent Rocks of Metamorphic Rocks. If you want to practise vocabulary instead, Metamorphic Terms includes protolith, texture and mineralogy. Both offer a focused starting point before you move on to decks about rock names and textures.
Are these flashcards free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open and study without an account. The decks were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr. A free account also lets you make your own flashcards, quizzes, mind maps and notes, and save your quiz scores.
What do the flashcards cover?
The decks cover parent rocks, metamorphic terms, textures and rock names based on mineralogy. For example, Metamorphic Textural (Microstructural) Terms includes foliation and cleavage. The page has resources for university and school revision, as well as material teachers can use when preparing revision activities.
