On on what basis can metamorphic rocks be identified?
Metamorphic rocks can be identified if the rock is foliated or nonfoliated, foliating type, type of metamorphism (contact/regional), and by probable original rock. :)
What rocks are formed by changes in heat and pressure or the pressure of hot watery fluids?
Metamorphic Rocks are formed two ways: Regional Metamorphism Contact Metamorphism In regional, two plates collide and through pressure and friction to change igneous rock to metamorphic. In contact (more familiar to me) lava (hot liquid?) contacts any type of rock and doesn't not melt but sorta loosens it up so the crystals inside can rearrange.
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
What type of rock is formed exclusively from contact metamorphism?
Hornfels
Which type of metamorphosis makes non-foliated rocks?
Contact metamorphism does not often produce the foliation caused by regional metamorphism

What is the difference between regional and contact metamorphose?
Contact metamorphism is a type of metamorphismwhere rock minerals and texture are changed, mainly by heat, due to contact with magma.
What are two things a metamorphic rock can d changed into?
regional and contact

Is gneiss rock contact or regional metamorphism?
whatever the f*** it is, nobody gives a darn

Which one is not a type of metamorphism regional contact hydrothermal or chemical?
chemical
Which type of metamorphism affects the greatest volumes of rock?
Regional metamorphism
If the sedimentary rock limestone is subjected to metamorphism what metamorphic rock will likely form?
Limestone can metamorphose into marble, a regional metamorphic rock, or into skarn, a contact metamorphic rock.
What is the structure of a quartzite rock?
Quartizite is a metemorphic rock that is either regional or contact. It is made when lava rises to the earths crust, and heats the sedimentatry rock around it.
What are the two types metamorphic rock?
The two groups of metamorphic rock are foliated and nonfoliated. Metamorphic rocks can also be classified as contact and regional.
What is the difference between regional and contact metamorphism?
Regional metamorphism is the creation of metamorphic rock from large geographically significant processes like plate tectonics. Contact metamorphism is the creation of metamorphic rock from the proximity of an existing rock to a heat source provided by a plutonic intrusion.
