Metamorphic Rock and the Rock Cycle

Where does metamorphic rock form?

• Above the Earth's surface

• In lakes

• Below the Earth's surface

What type of metamorphism results from magma and heat touching existing rock?

• Regional metamorphism

• Foliated Rock

• Non-foliated rock

• Contact metamorphism

What type of metamorphic rock contains mineral crystals arranged in parallel layers or bands?

• Clastic

• Foliated

• Non-foliated

• Intrusive

What type of metamorphism forms from intense pressure where other rock formations are?

• Contact metamorphism

• Extrusive rock

• Chemical rock

• Regional Metamorphism

What is the meaning of “metamorphic”?

• fire-formed

• sedimentation

• change form

• lithification

What type of metamorphic rock contains crystals are arranged randomly

• clastic

• foliated

• non-foliated

• extrusive

Use the diagram to help you: What is the process that helps existing rock form into metamorphic rock?

• compaction/cementation

• heat/pressure

• weathering/erosion

• melting

What is the Rock Cycle?

• How rocks are created from dirt

• The process of how rocks are forms from dead plants and animals

• Process that forms and recycles different rocks

• A rock that travels in a circle
