What are four kinds of metamorphic rock?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Four types of metamorphic rock are marble, slate, quartzite, and schist. Each of these rocks forms through the alteration of existing rock types under high pressure and temperature conditions deep within the Earth's crust.

Answer 3

(1) Gneiss

(2) Slate

(3) Quartzite

(4) Anthracite

Answer 4

Metamorphic rock is formed from heat, pressure and chemically active fluids. Five types of metamorphic rock are shale, marble, gneiss, mica schist and quartzite.
