  1. METAMORPHIC REVIEW part A Use a combination of your notes, the book and your brain to answer the following questions. 1. Define metamorphism. 2. Explain how burning a strip of paper is an example of metamorphism. 3. What can metamorphism tell us about what is happening underground? 4. What are the four factors that cause metamorphism. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Describe what it means for a mineral to be in equilibrium. 6. Name the three kinds of metamorphic reactions and give a short description of each. 1. 2. 3. 7. Define metamorphic fluids. 8. List and describe the six major types of metamorphisms. 1. 2. 3. 4.

  2. Describe the three reasons why fluids are essential to metamorphic rocks. 1. 2. 3. 10. How do minerals play a part in the metamorphic process? 11. What is country rock? 12. Below, draw a picture of a intrusion and label aureole. 13. What are pelitic rocks? 14. Where would I find mylonites? 15. If I look at a metamorphic rock, it’s physical appearance (texture) is broken up into two different categories. What are they. 1. 2. 16. Describe the difference between low grade and high grade metamorphism. 17. What rock, under metamorphism, creates marble? 18. How does tectonic plates affect our climate? 19. Describe why geologists think metamorphism may cause subduction of tectonic plates. Where are you most likely to find the highest-grade, deepest formed metamorphic rocks?
