7: Metamorphism and Metamorphic Rocks. 7694. Steven Earle. Vancover Island University BCCampus. Metamorphism is the change that takes place within a body of rock as a result of it being subjected to conditions that are different from those in which it formed. In most cases, but not all, this.

At lower pressures and temperatures, dynamic metamorphism will have the effect of breaking and grinding rock, creating cataclastic rocks such as fault breccia (Figure 10.32). At higher pressures and temperatures, grains and crystals in the rock may deform without breaking into pieces (Figure 10.33, left).

· Impact metamorphism is a type of shock metamorphism (Dietz 1961) in which the shock waves and the observed changes in rocks and minerals result from the hypervelocity impact of a meteorite. The duration is very short, i.e. a few microseconds resulting in melting and vaporization of the impacted rocks.

Metamorphic rocks start as one type of rock and—with pressure, heat, and time—gradually change into a new type of rock.

Summary. Metamorphism is the process that changes existing rocks (called protoliths) into new rocks with new minerals and new textures. Increases in temperature and pressure are the main causes of metamorphism, with fluids adding important mobilization of materials. The primary way metamorphic rocks are identified is with texture.

The rock cycle describes how rocks on Earth form and change over time. When rocks are pushed deep below Earth’s surface, they can melt to form magma. Magma that reaches Earth’s surface through volcanic activity is called lava. Igneous rocks form when magma or lava cools and solidifies. Weathering breaks igneous and other types of rocks into

The first step is to use the rock dichotomous key shown below to help determine the family of an unknown rock, whether it be igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. You will then use the identification tables to determine the name of the specimen (Tables 12.2, 12.3, and 12.4), which are broken into rows and columns.

Interesting Metamorphic Rocks Facts: Marble and slate are examples of metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock is formed under extreme pressure combined with heat over time. Metamorphic rocks are so called because they always begin as another type of rock. When slate forms, some of the clay from the original rock is replaced by the mineral mica.

Metamorphic rock results from heat and pressure. This is the least abundant of the 3 groups of rock. During the metamorphism, rock undergoes a change in composition or in the size and arrangement of the mineral grains.
