What do you get if you squeeze limestone?
Marble
Metamorphism caused by c/c collisions
Regional
Rocks which have parrallel elongated minerals
Foiliated
Derived by change of other rocks
Metamorphic
Low grade foliated metamorphic rock with grains too small to see with microscope
Phyite
Responsible for contact metamorphism
Magma
Generate heat for cataclasitic metamorphism
Faults
Mineral found in all rocks
Quartz
Highest grade of metamorphic rock; looks like granite
Gneiss
Defined by stability of rocks
Structural integrity
High grade metamorphic mineral of the stars
Staurolite
Protolith of quartzite
Quartzsandstone
Bring in sulphur
Gases
High grade metamorphic mineral
Sillimanite
The rock you start out with during metamorphism
Protolith
Bring in new elements
Solutions
Kind of metamorphism caused by faulting
Cataclastic
Causes molecules to move faster
Heat
Sequence of rock change during metamorphism
Bowens' reaction sequence
Changes the liquidous and/or solidus
Pressure
High grade metamorphic mineral
Kyanite
Mineral usually found in metamorphic rocks
Garnet
Lowest grade foliated metamorphic rock
Slate
Intermediate between metamorphic and igneous
Migmatites
Kind of metamorphism caused by magma
Contact
Metamorphic rock which do not have paralleled elongated minerals
Nonfoliated
The parallel arrangement of elongated minerals
Foliation
Process which concentrated economically important around magma chamber
Hydro thermal deposition
Principal source of heat
Radioactive decay
Most common gas associated with volcanism
Hydrogen sulfide
What you get if you squeeze quartz sandstone
Quartzite
The process of changing other rocks
Metamorphism
Synonym for squoooze
Metamorphic Process
The state of rock being changed
Solic
The last mineral to be metamorphosed
Caplagioclase
High grade metamorphic mineral
Andalusite
High grade metamorphic mineral
Andalusite
The best catalyst during Metamorphism
Water
Moderate grade foliated metamorphic rock with visible grains
Schist
