    Marble

  • 8

    What process contributes to the metamorphism of oceanic crust at the zone of spreading ridge?

    Dissolved minerals in the water confined within the rocks react with the heat and trigger a chemical reaction.

    Rigel argued with his classmates that the rock that he found in the campsite near the foot of the Taal volcano was a metamorphic rock. Others claimed that it was a volcanic rock because it was found near a volcano hence, an igneous rock. What features of the rock would have convinced Rigel that it was a metamorphic rock and not an igneous rock?

    The rock contains interlocking and large crystals of minerals compared to minerals found in igneous rocks.

  • 10

    Diamonds are minerals made through a process like metamorphism which results in a very dense arrangement of carbon atoms. What type of metamorphism would create a diamond? I. Burial metamorphism II. Contact metamorphism III. Shock metamorphism IV. High-pressure metamorphism V. Hydrothermal metamorphism

    III and IV

  • 11

    Which of the following metamorphic rocks may have come from a shale?

    All of the above.

  • 12

    In which geographic area will there be a metamorphic rock with very distinct foliations?

    in convergent boundaries where plates move towards each other

  • 13

    Low-grade metamorphism takes place at temperatures between 200 oC to 320 oC, and at relatively low pressure. Which metamorphic rock is created in this environmental setting?

    Slate

  • 14

    How does the presence of a hot pluton contribute to metasomatism? I. The heat coming from the pluton heats up the rock and triggers the recrystallization of its original minerals. II. A hot pluton heats the surrounding water, causing groundwater to circulate around the rocks. III. Magma within the pluton cooks up the minerals and destroys its original crystal arrangements.

    I and II are correct.

  • 15

    How does metasomatism occur?

    The dissolved minerals in the fluids react with rocks that the fluids penetrate causing changes in chemical and mineral compositions

  • 16

    Which of the following statements about the metamorphism of shale is FALSE?

    The size of the minerals gets smaller as metamorphism increases.

  • 17

    Which of the following has the CORRECT set of major agents in metamorphism?

    temperature and pressure

  • 18

    Which of the following CORRECTLY describes the major role of pressure in producing metamorphic rocks?

    Pressure leads to foliation in the rock.

  • 19

    What type of metamorphic rock will form if a mudrock experiences high-grade metamorphism?

    Schist

  • 20

    Granite is an igneous rock that is formed through the slow solidification of magma. Accordingly, it does not change very much at lower metamorphic grades. Why is this so?

    Granite minerals are still stable at lower temperatures.

  • 21

    What process contributes to the metamorphism of oceanic crust at a spreading ridge?

    Interaction of plates below the spreading oceanic crust creates horizontal movements and deforms the rocks within leading to formations of foliations and cracks

  • 22

    While walking, Daniel picked up a rock that had been washed up onto the beach. Noticing that it has wavy bands of light and dark-colored minerals, he claimed that the rock is a metamorphic rock. Which of the following inferences about its formation is the MOST CORRECT?

    The pressure was the main agent in rock’s formation which aligned the minerals into a new orientation.

  • 23

    Which of the following is the cause of high temperature and pressure in regional metamorphism?

    greater depth of burial

  • 24

    Which of the following metamorphic rocks CANNOT form from a shale?

    marble

  • 25

    On a local field trip, a group of students noticed that they were walking across a path made of rocks that starts from shale into a slate and into a phyllite. What can you infer from the direction taken by the students concerning the grades of metamorphic rocks?

    It indicates an increasing metamorphic grade.

  • 26

    In which geographic area will there be the HIGHEST potential for regional metamorphism?

    in the mid-ocean ridge in the Atlantic Ocean

  • 27

    Which of the following does NOT belong to the group?

    Marble

  • 28

    Blueschist metamorphism takes place within subduction zones. What are the temperature and pressure characteristics of this geological setting?

    high temperature and pressure

  • 29

    How does the presence of a hot pluton contribute to metasomatism? I. A hot pluton heats the surrounding water, causing groundwater to circulate the rocks. II. Magma within the pluton is the source of minerals that seeps through the rocks and causes chemical exchange. III. The heat coming from the pluton heats up the rock and triggers recrystallization of its original minerals.

    I and II are correct.

  • 30

    most important agent of Metamorphism

    heat

  • 31

    Equal pressure in all directions tends to cause objects to uniformly become smaller.

    Confining Pressure

  • 32

    If the stress is not equal from all directions, then the stress is called a differential stress.

    Differential stress

  • 33

    causes objects to be smeared out in the direction of applied stress.

    Shear stress

  • 34

    rock is in contact or close to magma then the heat bakes the nearby rock just around the magma.

    Contact metamorphism

  • 35

    Large scale metamorphism that occurs during mountain building

    Regional metamorphism

  • 36

    this type of Metamorphism is due to mechanical deformation, like when two bodies of rocks slide past each other

    Dynamic metamorphism

  • 37

    when sediments rocks are buried to depth of several hundred meters, temperatures greater than 300oc may develop in the absence of diffeential stress

    Burial metamorphism

  • 38

    At surface rocks broken into fragmental creccians

    Fault Zone

  • 39

    near oceanic ridges where the oceanic crust is brokn up by extentional faults, sea ater can decend along the cracks

    Hydrothermal

  • 40

    the oceanic crust is pushed downward resulting in the baaltic crust and oceanic floor sediments being subjected to relatively high pressure

    Subduction

  • 41

    It takes place at temperatures between about 200 to 320oC, and relatively low pressure.Low grade metamorphic rocks are characterized by an abundance of hydrous minerals.

    Low-grade metamorphism

  • 42

    It takes place at temperatures greater than 320oC and relatively high pressure. As grade of metamorphism increases, hydrous minerals become less hydrous, by losing H2O and non-hydrous minerals become more common

    High-grade metamorphism

  • 43

    Metamorphism that occurs while temp and pressure progressively increase

    Prograde Metamorphism

  • 44

    Metamorphism that occurs when temp and pressure decreases.

    Retrograde Metamorphism

    While walking, Daniel picked up a rock that had been washed up onto the beach. Noticing that it has wavy bands of light and dark-colored minerals, he claimed that the rock is a metamorphic rock. Which of the following inferences about its formation is the MOST CORRECT?

    The pressure was the main agent in rock’s formation which aligned the minerals into a new orientation.

  • 23

    Which of the following is the cause of high temperature and pressure in regional metamorphism?

    greater depth of burial

  • 24

    Which of the following metamorphic rocks CANNOT form from a shale?

    marble

  • 25

    On a local field trip, a group of students noticed that they were walking across a path made of rocks that starts from shale into a slate and into a phyllite. What can you infer from the direction taken by the students concerning the grades of metamorphic rocks?

    It indicates an increasing metamorphic grade.

  • 26

    In which geographic area will there be the HIGHEST potential for regional metamorphism?

    in the mid-ocean ridge in the Atlantic Ocean

  • 27

    Which of the following does NOT belong to the group?

    Marble

  • 28

    Blueschist metamorphism takes place within subduction zones. What are the temperature and pressure characteristics of this geological setting?

    high temperature and pressure

  • 29

    How does the presence of a hot pluton contribute to metasomatism? I. A hot pluton heats the surrounding water, causing groundwater to circulate the rocks. II. Magma within the pluton is the source of minerals that seeps through the rocks and causes chemical exchange. III. The heat coming from the pluton heats up the rock and triggers recrystallization of its original minerals.

    I and II are correct.

    most important agent of Metamorphism

    heat

  • 31

    Equal pressure in all directions tends to cause objects to uniformly become smaller.

    Confining Pressure

  • 32

    If the stress is not equal from all directions, then the stress is called a differential stress.

    Differential stress

  • 33

    causes objects to be smeared out in the direction of applied stress.

    Shear stress

  • 34

    rock is in contact or close to magma then the heat bakes the nearby rock just around the magma.

    Contact metamorphism

  • 35

    Large scale metamorphism that occurs during mountain building

    Regional metamorphism

  • 36

    this type of Metamorphism is due to mechanical deformation, like when two bodies of rocks slide past each other

    Dynamic metamorphism

  • 37

    when sediments rocks are buried to depth of several hundred meters, temperatures greater than 300oc may develop in the absence of diffeential stress

    Burial metamorphism

  • 38

    At surface rocks broken into fragmental creccians

    Fault Zone

  • 39

    near oceanic ridges where the oceanic crust is brokn up by extentional faults, sea ater can decend along the cracks

    Hydrothermal

  • 40

    the oceanic crust is pushed downward resulting in the baaltic crust and oceanic floor sediments being subjected to relatively high pressure

    Subduction

  • 41

    It takes place at temperatures between about 200 to 320oC, and relatively low pressure.Low grade metamorphic rocks are characterized by an abundance of hydrous minerals.

    Low-grade metamorphism

  • 42

    It takes place at temperatures greater than 320oC and relatively high pressure. As grade of metamorphism increases, hydrous minerals become less hydrous, by losing H2O and non-hydrous minerals become more common

    High-grade metamorphism

  • 43

    Metamorphism that occurs while temp and pressure progressively increase

    Prograde Metamorphism

  • 44

    Metamorphism that occurs when temp and pressure decreases.

    Retrograde Metamorphism
