What is low-grade metamorphism?
Alow-grade metamorphism is when the rock turns to shale,a sedimentary rock then to slate
Under pressure shale may turn into slate this is an example of?
Rock metamorphism.
What process can change Sedimentary rocks into metamorphism rock?
Subduction and high pressure.
When changes in pressure temperature or chimical make-up alter a rock what takes place?
metamorphic rock metamorphic rock, or metamorphism
What causes metamorphic rock to change?
An increase in heat or pressure could cause further metamorphism.
When there is directed pressure on a rock metamorphism may?
Dynamic
When there is directed pressure on a rock of metamorphism may occur?
water
When there is directed pressure on a rock metamorphism may occur.?
Dynamic
What is a dynamic metamorphism?
A process that changes rock due to directed pressure on a rock
What is a dynamic to metamorphism?
A process that changes rock due to directed pressure on a rock
When there is directed pressure on a rock what type of metamorphism may occur?
dynamic
Match the type of metamorphism to its best definition.?
Contact metamorphism - the process in which a rock changes as a result of heat generated from magma Dynamic metamorphism- the process in which a rock changes due to pressure directed onto it impact metamorphism - the process in which a rock changes because of extreme heat and pressure caused by a meteorite collision with earth regional metamorphism- the process in which buried rocks in a large area are changed by heat pressure and fluids
When sedimentary rock is buried what happens?
Nothing, possibly. Metamorphism of sedimentary rock may be dependent on depth of burial, directed pressure, or exposure to high temperatures or hot fluids.
When a rock changes due to surrounding pressure on all sides?
Burial metamorphism
What generates the pressure required for metamorphism?
Pressure from weight of overlying rock.
What is low-grade metamorphism?
Alow-grade metamorphism is when the rock turns to shale,a sedimentary rock then to slate
Metamorphism involves what two conditions act on the existing rock to change it?
Metamorphism involves temperature and high pressure and chemical changes. The high pressure, chemical changes and temperature are the metamorphism that act on a rock that makes it change.
