Most schists are derived from phyllite, a lower grade metamorphic rock.

What type of metamorphism contact or regional would result in a schist explain your choice?
Regional. Contact metamorphism is high temperature-low pressure so no mineral alignment occurs, only new mineral growth.
What type of rock would result from the metamorphism of granite?
Granite is Igneous rock. It crystallizes from hot melt (magma). Metamorphic rocks can be found associated with granite as result of their contact with country (surrounding) rocks. This will be a contact metamorphism. Metamorphism of granite it self results into granitic gneisses which are coarse foliated rocks.
Which type of metamorphism affects the greatest volumes of rock?
Regional metamorphism
When rocks stack up on each other what type of metamorphism can occur?
Regional metamorphism can occur.
What type of rocks can undergo metamorphism?
All rocks can undergo metamorphism; sedimentary, igneous, and even metamorphic rocks.
What type of metamorphism contact or regional would result in a schist explain your choice?
Regional. Contact metamorphism is high temperature-low pressure so no mineral alignment occurs, only new mineral growth.
What is the location of schist?
Schist is a form of metamorphic rock in which a sedimentary rock has been subjected to heat and pressure. These change agents will alter the structure of the rock, and will allow / cause the minerals in the rock to change and aggregate. Schist is a very common rock type, but does need the parent rock to have undergone metamorphism.
Does schist contain diamond?
No, schist is a metamorphic rock type.
What are four kinds of metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks can be classified by type of metamorphism. Regional metamorphism is caused by pressures and heat derived from plate movement processes. Contact metamorphism is caused from proximity to an intrusive plutonic body. Metamorphic rocks are also classified by degree of metamorphism, expressed as a grade (low, medium, high), as a rock experiences higher and higher heat and pressure until it eventually melts.
In which type of rock metamorphism is heat the dominant factor?
They would be referred to as contact metamorphic rocks.
What is the most common type of metamorphism?
The most common type of land metamorphism is Regional metamorphism. The most common rocks are slates, schists, and gneisses. This occurs within the folds of mountain belts and cratonic areas.
What type of rocks Schist?
Schist is a high-grade metamorphic rock.
What is a better rock type for drilling purposes Gneiss or Schist?
Both are metamophic Rock. Gneiss is formed from Granite. Schist from other types it depends on what you are planning on drilling. Also it depends on what type of Schist. Gneiss would probably be the better choice though.
Which type of metamorphism is associated with orogens?
Regional Metamorphism
Which type of metamorphism is most likely to occur along the fault line?
Dynamic Metamorphism >.<
Which type of metamorphism affects the greatest volumes of rock?
Regional metamorphism
