Metamorphic Rocks Introduction Start by previewing the questions below (if possible). It helps to know what you are looking for. Take notes on the video on page 44 in your notebook. Watch the video all the way through. Remember that you can revisit parts of the video when answering questions as needed. True or false: Metamorphic rocks can form from any rock if there is enough heat and pressure. true false Type of Metamorphism sort Drag and drop the descriptions under the correct type of metamorphism. Contact Metamorphism localized extreme temperature seem on margins of magma chamber Regional Metamorphism made over large areas extreme pressure seen at plate boundaries Metamorphic Rock Texture Sort Drag and drop the description that best describes the type of foliation. Foliated have organized bands, layers or folds Non-foliated Do not appear to have organized minerals About Metamorphic Rocks Metamorphic rocks form when a rock changes due to heat and pressure. The starting rock is called the parent rock, and it can be any type of rock (igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic). Metamorphic rocks are either foliated if they have bands of minerals or layers, or non-foliatedif they do not.
