Metamorphic Rocks mind maps

Using Metamorphic Rocks mind maps

These maps bring together topics within the unit, including metamorphic processes, meta-igneous rocks and index minerals. Some focus on particular rocks, such as marble and quartzite. Others trace changes in rocks through temperature and pressure.

Where to start

Metamorphic Processes is a useful starting point for seeing regional and contact metamorphism alongside each other. For a closer look at rock types and facies, move to Meta-igneous rocks. The map Metamorphic rock connects shale, slate, schist and gneiss with slaty cleavage.

Revise with a map

Follow the branches of one map, then cover them and see which connections you can recall. Compare maps on related topics to find details you want to revisit. Switch to notes on the unit page when you want to read a topic in more depth, or to flashcards and quizzes when you want to test your recall. Try a map and follow the branches that interest you.
