ROCK CYCLE – METAMORPHIC NOTESLast set of notes!

Hooray!!

Formation Deformation due to

heat and pressure

Low heat, high pressure (high deformation)

High heat, low pressure (low deformation)

Formation

Types of Metamorphosis Regional – Large scale high pressure,

low heat, creates foliated rocks (schist, granite)

Types of Metamorphosis Contact – Small local scale, creates a

“bake zone” around the rock High Heat - not enough to melt & Low pressure – created non-foliated

rocks
