Metamorphic Rocks
Cards in this deck (4)
- 1Occurs at igneous intrusions There is recrystallization if the rock is dry, or replacement of minerals if it is wet. Temperature dominated, lower pressure effect produces non-foliated rocksContact metamorphism
- 2Occurs at igneous intrusions Recrystallization if rock is dry, or replacement of minerals if it is wet Pressure dominated, lower temperature effect produces foliated rocks convergence of plates causes deformation, uplift, and ___________Regional Metamorphism
- 3Alignment of minerals. This can be in the form of flat surfaces or mineral bands. Forms with increased pressure and/or temperature (usually regional setting)Foliation
- 4Massive, crystalline, & w/ no preferred orientation of minerals in the rock. Forms w/ increased temperature (usually contact setting)Non-foliated
