Quiz 12- Ch. 4/7 (Metamorphic Rocks)

Question 1

Regional Metamorphism

Answer 1

high temperatures and pressures over a large area (convergent boundaries)

Question 2

Contact Metamorphism

Answer 2

high temperatures restricted to smaller areas as in rocks near contact with igneous intrusions

Question 3

foliation

Answer 3

wavy or platy planes produced when the rock was structurally deformed into folds

Question 4

rock cycle

Answer 4

explains how each rock is converted into one of the other two (meta, sedi, igne)

Question 5

geothermal gradient

Answer 5

the rise in temperature with respect to pressure in Earth’s surface

Question 6

geothermal gradient

Answer 6

the rise in temperature with respect to depth in Earth’s interior

Question 7

geothermal gradient

Answer 7

the rise in temperature with respect to depth in Earth’s interior; varies depending on plate tectonic settings

Question 8

geothermal gradient

Answer 8

the rise in temperature with respect to depth in Earth’s interior; varies depending on plate tectonic settings

Question 9

metasomatism

Answer 9
