Metamorphic Rocks: Description, Classification, and Processes - bartleby Metamorphism alters the rocks texture, layering crystals, and banded appearance 3 What are the physical “agents of metamorphism” (e g the physical conditions that cause metamorphism)? The physical agents of metamorphism are heat from the magma chamber, geothermal gradient and pressure from tectonic plate collisions 1
5. Metamorphism can transform a shale composed of clay . . . - bartleby Metamorphism can transform a shale composed of clay (Diagram A) into a metamorphic rock containing many different minerals (Diagram B) The metamorphism of a pure quartz sandstone, however, yields a metamorphic rock containing only quartz
Metamorphic Rock Analysis: Classification and Features Guide - bartleby He defined the following sequence of index minerals, which represent intensity of metamorphism along a gradient from low to high pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions: chlorite (lowest P-T), biotite, garnet, staurolite, kyanite, sillimanite (highest P-T) 1 Boundaries between Barrow's metamorphic zones are called isograds
Answered: It is possible for multiple types of… | bartleby It is possible for multiple types of metamorphism (e g , regional metamorphism, contact metamorphism) to occur at the same type of plate boundary (e g , convergent boundary, divergent boundary) BUY Applications and Investigations in Earth Science (9th Edition)
Answered: What other processes that create rocks are often . . . - bartleby What other processes that create rocks are often associated with mountain building? Choose one or more: A the formation of plutons and batholiths from partial melting or intense heat B contact and regional metamorphism of existing rocks C precipitation of carbonate material by organisms D weathering and erosion of large quantities of sediment that get deposited near the mountain front

Answered: Q. : Which of the following is a likely explanation . . . - bartleby Q : Which of the following is a likely explanation for why there is limestone near the summit of Mount Everest, the tallest mountain on Earth? ANSWER: - The limestone is the result of an igneous intrusion - The limestone forms during metamorphism related to mountain building The limestone found at the top of Mount Everest was formed in an ocean
