Which sample best shows the physical properties normally

associated with regional metamorphism?

State one igneous rock that could be placed in the flowchart at D.

A student obtains a cup of quartz sand from a beach. A saltwater solution is pored into the sand and allowed to evaporate. The mineral residue from the saltwater solution cements the sand grains together, forming a material

that is most similar in origin to

a. An extrusive igneous rockb. An intrusive igneous rockc. A clastic sedimentary rockd. A foliated metamorphic rock

vigorously for 10 minutes, which mineral sample would experience the

most abrasion?

similar to andalusite (Al²SiO5)

Which mineral has a metallic luster, a

black streak, and is an ore of iron?

metamorphosed by contact metamorphism it becomes what metamorphic rock?

When a piece of shale is exposed to extreme heat and

pressure but does not melt, what type of rock forms?

Give the name of a rock.

NAME THAT ROCK!!

-clastic fragments-made of mostly quartz, feldspar,

and clay minerals-fine to coarse grained

-contains fossils

NAME THAT ROCK

-Nonfoliated-Coarse grained

-Composed of quartz

B. Slate D. Marble

Which rock is most likely to form at the boundary between layer A

and layer C?

Base your answers to the question on the flowchart below and on your knowledge of Earth Science. The flowchart shows the formation of some

igneous rocks. The circled letters A, B, C, and D indicate parts of the flowchart that have not been labeled.

Give the numerical grain size range that should be

placed in the flowchart at

C. Units must be included in your answer.

Name two minerals found in gneiss that contain iron and magnesium.
