Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question. Match the rock with the appropriate description. A. hornfels B. marble C. gneiss D. phyllite 64) forms by contact metamorphism of mudstones and shales 64) 65) foliated, fine-grained metamorphic rock formed from mudstone and shale 65) 66) nonfoliated metamorphic rock consisting mostly of calcite 66) 67) coarse-grained, metamorphic rock with alternating bands or stringers of light and dark minerals 67) TRUE/FALSE. Write 'T' if the statement is true and 'F' if the statement is false. 68) Most metamorphism happens entirely in the solid state. 68) 69) The type of metamorphic rock that is formed depends on the pressure, temperature, strain rate, fluids and original parent rock composition. 69) 70) Three major factors involved in metamorphism are elevated temperature, elevated pressure, and the chemical action of hot fluids. 70) 71) At elevated pressures, water can be used to supply unequal, directed pressure by hydraulic forces. 71) 7
8 72) Ductile deformation occurs at low strain rates. 72) 73) At high pressures and elevated temperatures of regional metamorphism, silicate rocks are more resistant to flowage and deformation than at low temperatures and pressures. 73) 74) Foliated metamorphic rocks are composed largely of nonequidimensional grains of minerals such as quartz and calcite. 74) 75) During metamorphism, most rock is composed of solid mineral grains, but small amounts of hot fluids or partial melting may facilitate the metamorphic process. 75) 76) Quartzites and metaconglomerates are usually formed along faults by intensive fracturing and fragmentation of conglomerate beds and quartz veins. 76) 77) High-grade, regional metamorphism produces significant and recognizable changes in the textures and mineral compositions of rocks. 77) 78) Muscovite is a hydrous sheet silicate typical of low metamorphic grades. 78) 79) Uniform high pressure metamorphism of a quartz-rich sediment will generate a foliated rock like slate, phyllite or schist. 79) 80) Contact metamorphism is most readily apparent at shallow depths, where the thermal gradients are the steepest (hot intrusion/cold roof rock). 80) 81) Hornfels are metamorphic rocks produced at great depths and high temperatures associated with regional metamorphism. 81) 82) Chlorite hornfels would likely be restricted to the edge of the metamorphic aureole. 82) 83) Calcite is the main mineral constituent of the sedimentary rock limestone and of the metamorphic rock marble. 83) 84) Metamorphic rocks formed during episodes of mountain building typically show textural characteristics indicative of directed pressure and deformation. 84) 85) Rock cleavage or slaty cleavage in slates is largely a consequence of abundant, parallel-aligned, very fine-grained mica flakes in the rock. 85) 86) Muscovite, biotite, and chlorite are common minerals found in phyllites and schists. 86) 87) Slate and schist are both derived by metamorphism of shales and mudstones. 87) 88) The distinctive layers or bands of different minerals in gneisses may be complexly folded. 88) 89) Amphibolites have gneissic textures and form by regional metamorphism of granites and rhyolites. 89) 90) Partial melting is an important process in the formation of migmatites. 90) 8
