How do metamorphic rocks form? 

• Heat and Pressure
• Compaction & Cementation
• Cooling of Magma
• Sediments & Glue

Metamorphic rocks form from ___.

• igneous rocks
• other metamorphic rocks
• sedimentary rocks
• all types of rocks

Granite forms what type of metamorphic rock?

• slate
• marble
• gneiss
• quartzite

When metamorphic rocks are formed, the extreme heat is usually caused by the _______.

• gravity in the atmosphere
• collision of tectonic plates
• the fiery hot magma in the Earth's mantle
• weight of the mountains

Metamorphic Rocks are classified by

• Mineral Composition
• Texture (foliated / non foliated)
• Grain Sizes
• How they formed.

Which of the following best describes the type of environment a metamorphic rock forms in

• High heat, low pressure
• Low heat, high pressure
• High heat, high pressure
• Low heat, low pressure

This pink and black striped rock can be classified as

• foliated metamorphic
• unfoliated metamorphic
• clastic sedimentaary
• organic sedimentary

High pressure can change rock into metamorphic. This can happen when

• Sediment settles out of water or wind into layers

• Earth’s plates colliding can push rock down toward the mantle, changing the rock

• Heat can come from magma that rises into colder rock

• Rapid cooling at or above the surface
