- Q1Forms by contact metamorphism of mudstones and shalesHornfelsGneissPhylliteMarble30s
- Q2Which of the following best describes the conditions of contact metamorphism?Heat is generated by shearing and mechanical movements along faultsPressures are very high, the rock is deeply buried, and temperatures raised by the Earth's internal heatPressures are fairly low, the rock is in the upper part of the crust, and heat is supplied from a nearby magma bodyDepths are fairly shallow, but temperatures and pressures are so high that the rocks begin to partially melt30s
- Q3_____ forms from the metamorphism of limestone or dolostoneMigmatiteMarbleAmphiboliteQuartzite30s
- Q4What foliated, metamorphic rock is texturally intermediate between slate and schistQuartziteFault brecciaPhylliteGneiss30s
- Q5_____ is characterized by the segregation of light and dark-colored minerals into thin layers or bandsSlateQuartziteGranitic gneissGarnet hornfels30s
- Q6What type of foliation results from the parallel alignment of abundant, coarse-grained, mica flakes in a metamorphic rock?Gneissic bandingPhyllitic structureSlaty cleavageSchistosity30s
