METAMORPHIC ROCKS

• Geologists classify metamorphic rocks according to the arrangement of the grains that make up the rocks

Page 5: Metamorphic Rocks

METAMORPHIC ROCKS

• Foliated Rocks Metamorphic rocks that have their grains arranged in parallel layers or bands (foliated) which means thin flat layering found in most metamorphic rocks

• Slate, schist, gneiss

Page 6: Metamorphic Rocks

METAMORPHIC ROCKS

• Nonfoliated rocks • Mineral grains are

arranged randomly. • Do not split into

layers

• Marble and quartzite


Metamorphic Rock Examples - Plainview Rocks...Metamorphic “meta” = to change “morph” = form Metamorphic rocks are formed from Parent rocks (pre-existing rocks) Parent rocks
