  1. Last set of notes! Hooray!! Rock cycle – metamorphic notes

  2. Formation • Deformation due to heat and pressure • Low heat, high pressure (high deformation) • High heat, low pressure (low deformation)

  3. Formation

  4. Types of Metamorphosis • Regional – Large scale high pressure, low heat, creates foliated rocks (schist, granite)

  5. Types of Metamorphosis • Contact – Small local scale, creates a “bake zone” around the rock • High Heat - not enough to melt • & Low pressure – created non-foliated rocks
