Metamorphic Rocks•Metamorphic rocks form when existing rocks are changed by heat and pressure.
•Metamorphism – to change form.
•Rocks produced during metamorphism often look much different then their parent rock.

Formation •Most metamorphic changes occur at elevated temperatures and pressures.
•These conditions exist at a few kilometers below Earth’ surface and extend into the upper mantle.
•Two types of metamorphism•Contact Metamorphism•Regional Metamorphism

Contact Metamorphism• Hot magma moves into rock. Magma forces itself into pre-existing rock.
•Low-grade metamorphism
•Minor changes are done to the rocks.
•Ex: Marble

Regional Metamorphism•Extreme pressures
and temperatures.• During mountain
building, large areas of rocks are subjected to these extreme pressure and temperatures.
• Large scale deformation and high-grade metamorphism.

Agents of Metamorphism•Agents of metamorphism are heat, pressure and hydrothermal solutions.
•During metamorphism, rocks are usually subjected to all three of these agents at the same time.
•However, the effect of each agent varies greatly from one situation to another.

• Heat is the most important agent of metamorphism.
• Heat provides the energy needed to drive chemical reactions.
• Some reactions cause existing minerals to recrystallize.
• Other reactions cause new minerals to form.• The heat for metamorphism comes mainly from
two sources – magma and the change in temperature with depth.
• Magma essentially “bakes” any rocks that are in contact with it.
• Temperature with depth occurs within the upper mantle and temperature increases around 20° – 30° C.
Heat

• Pressure, like temperature, also increases with depth.
• Pressure is applied in all directions.• Pressure on rocks causes the spaces between
mineral grains to close.• The result is a more compact rock with greater
density.• Pressure can also cause minerals to recrystallize
into new minerals.• Increases in temperature and pressure cause
rocks to flow rather than fracture. Mineral grains rend to flatten and elongate.
Pressure (Stress)

•Water solutions containing other substances that readily change to gases at the surface play an important role in some types of metamorphism.
•Hot, water-based solutions that escape form a mass of magma are called hydrothermal solutions.
• Promote recrystallization by dissolving original minerals and then depositing new ones.• The rocks overall composition may
occur.

Classification of Metamorphic Rocks
![Page 16: 3.4 – Metamorphic Rocks](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56815e76550346895dccf880/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
•When metamorphic rocks undergo extreme conditions, certain minerals will recrystallize with a preferred orientation.
•The result is a rock with a layered or banded appearance.
Foliated Metamorphic Rocks
![Page 17: 3.4 – Metamorphic Rocks](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56815e76550346895dccf880/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Nonfoliated Metamorphic Rocks
•Metamorphic rocks that do not have a banded or layered appearance.
•Usually only contain one mineral.
•Ex: Marble is a nonfoliated rock made of calcite.
