Question
- the metamorphic rock ____________ usually forms when limestone is subjected to heat and pressure deep beneath the surface.
because the foliated metamorphic rock ____________ splits easily into flat pieces, it is used for roofing material.
any rock formed when another rock is changed by heat or ____________ is metamorphic rock.
geologists classify metamorphic rocks according to the ____________ of the grains making up the rocks.
quartzite forms when the quartz particles in ____________ recrystallize.
Question 1:
Metamorphic rock formed from limestone under heat and pressure is marble. Limestone (a sedimentary rock) undergoes metamorphism to become marble.
Foliated metamorphic rock used for roofing (splits into flat pieces) is slate. Slate has a foliated texture and is known for its ability to split into thin, flat sheets, making it suitable for roofing.
Metamorphic rocks form when another rock (protolith) is changed by heat or pressure (or chemically). The key agent here, along with heat, is pressure for metamorphism.
