What is the name of this Metamorphic Rock?

• Schist

• Slate

• Gneiss

• Marble

What metamorphic rock is the result of heat and pressure on sandstone?

• sandstone

• limestone

• quartzite

• shale

Which of these is a metamorphic rock?

• Gneiss

• Granite

• Scoria

• Conglomerate

This rock was once sandstone but was altered by extreme heat and pressure. What is it likely to be now?

• Quartzite

• Marble

• Slate

What sedimentary rock is changed into slate during metamorphism?

• Shale

• Limestone

• Sandstone

• Breccia

Which of the following is a metamorphic rock?

• schist

• basalt

• limestone

• shale

What subjected to intense heat and pressure granite can become 

• sandstone

• gneiss

• quartzite

• slate

Sandstone can be converted into the very hard and angular rock of the type shown in the picture.  It is the extreme heat and pressure associated with tectonic compression where two plates come together at a convergent boundary that produces this hard and attractive rock.  If sandstone is the parent rock, which of the following could be the type of rock shown?

• anthracite coal

• marble

• granite

• quartzite
