Question

II- List the factors that control metamorphism: 1. Indicate which of the following statements is true (T) and which is false (F). Correct every false statement 1) Inherited textures are best preserved in high grade metamorphic rocks 2) A metamorphic aurcole is a product of contact metamorphism The best index minerals are ones that typically have relatively large stability fields in pressure- temperature space. 3) 4) A quartzite is a metamorphosed granite 5) Blueschists and eclogites form at divergent plate boundaries. 6) Greenschists are high grade metamorphic rocks.

Explanation / Answer

Metamorphism is the process by which composition, structure of a rock is changed by the actions of heat, pressure or other natural agency.

Factors controlling metamorphism:

1) The temperature at which metamorphism takes place.

2) The amount and type of pressure.

3) Types of fluids that are present.

4) Time available

5) Mineral composition of parent rock.
