Could contact metamorphism change a shale into a phyllite?
No. Contact metamorphism will most likely alter shale into hornfels. Phyllite is regionally metamorphosed slate, and slate is metamorphosed shale.
Which type of metamorphism is most likely to change shale to hornfels?
Contact Metamorphism
What are the 4 types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
How do the effects of contact metamorphism compare with those of regional metamorphism?
contact and regional metamorphic are similar because both of them happen cause of hot heat and pressure which make the rock metamorphic
How does Burial metamorphism differ from Regional and Contact metamorphism?
Burial metamorphism differs from regional and contact metamorphism in that it is the result of rocks being buried deeper into the earth's crust through tectonic movements.
Could contact metamorphism change a shale into a phyllite?
No. Contact metamorphism will most likely alter shale into hornfels. Phyllite is regionally metamorphosed slate, and slate is metamorphosed shale.
What is sedimentary rock formed by deposit of shale?
Slate is the metamorphic rock, formed from regional (heat and pressure applied) metamorphism on shale.
Which sedimentary rock is most likely to be changed to slate during regional metamorphism?
Shale.
What is used to turn shale into slate?
Shale (a sedimentary rock) transforms naturally into slate (a metamorphic rock) after millions of years of burial deep in the crust under high temperature and pressure. It it not possible to artificially transform shale into slate.
Is marble contact or regional metamorphism?
contact :)
Which two kinds of adjoining bedrock would most likely have a zone of contact metamorphism between them?
shale and sandstone
Which type of metamorphism is most likely to change shale to hornfels?
Contact Metamorphism
Is soapstone regional or contact metamorphism?
Very low grade regional metamorphism.
During the intrusion of the Palisades Sill contact metamorphism changed sandstone and shale into what?
Hornfels
What are the 4 types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
What is a nonfoliated rock formed by contact metamorphism of a shale or mudstone?
Contact metamorphism takes place locally near igneous intrusions. It is caused by low to moderate pressure, intense heat, and reactions to magma that is being metamorphosed. When contact metamorphism takes place with mudstone or shale (sedimentary rocks) slate is formed. The mudstone or shale is the parent rock or protolith.
