Metamorphism

____________ is the transformation of the rock's minerology and physical characteristics. (icapital ang first letter sa answer then small na tanan, example: Cat)

this type of rock forms from existing rock types called “parent rock”

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentary

• Igneous

• Metamorphism

What do you call the "parent rock" of metamorphic rocks (icapital ang first letter then small ang rest, example: Cat)

The original rock which can be an igneous, sedimentary or another metamorphic rock is subjected to heat and pressure, causing a profound ______ or _____ change.

• Physical or Organic

metamorphism in the SUBDUCTION zone is characterized by

• no pressure

• low-pressure metamorphism

• moderate-pressure metamorphism

• high-pressure metamorphism

The COLLISION zone between two continental crusts is marked by

• no pressure

• low-pressure metamorphism

• moderate-pressure metamorphism

• high-pressure metamorphism

is the stress or pressure exerted on the rock by the weight of overlying material such as in burial metamorphism. This type of pressure is the same in all directions and makes the rocks to fracture or deform.

• vertical stress or confining pressure

• directed or differential pressure

• no pressure

• vertical asymptote or differential pressure
