"Metamorphism"Comes from Greek:
Meta = change & Morph = form so…
Metamorphism means to change form.

• In geology this refers to the changes in mineral assemblage and texture.
• These changes result from subjecting a rock to pressures and temperatures different from those under which the rock originally formed.

Four Main Factors to Consider:
Temperature
Pressure
Chemical Reactions
Parent Rocks

Temperature:• Limited on Low end by Diagenesis (Sedimentary process).
• Limited on High end by Melting (becomes magma).
• Range of Temperatures between these two is the metamorphic temperature range
• Typically between 100 Degrees Celsius & 800 Degrees Celsius.
• As temperature increases minerals become unstable & breakdownto form new minerals; therefore, temperatures in metamorphic range result in new rock types with new mineral assemblages!
• Increase in temperature can be from:
» Normal heat due to Geothermal Gradient.» Intense Plate Tectonic Activity.» Proximity to a nearby Magma Body.

Pressure:
• Two Types of pressure:
A. Confining Pressure
B. Directed Pressure

A. Confining Pressure:
Imposed by Surrounding Rocks,
Increases with Depth.
Uniform in All Directions.

B. Directed Pressure / Stress
Connected to plate tectonics &
mountain building processes.
NOT Uniform in All Directions.
Results in Deformation.

Directed Pressure / Stress
is applied in a specific direction!
...it causes mineral
crystals to align
PERPENDICULAR
to the stress!
![Page 16: Geology 12 - Metamorphic Rocks Outlinebondsclasses.weebly.com/uploads/1/9/7/3/19733603/geol-_metamorphic.pdf · Geology 12 - Metamorphic Rocks Outline: 1. General Information 2.

Results of Pressure!• As pressure increases rocks become more
compact & dense.
• Mineral Crystals become aligned parallel to each other.
• Mineral crystals line up perpendicular to the stress.
• Results in compositional & textural banding
ex. Schistocity & Gneissic Banding

• Often creates “Rock Cleavage”
ex. Slate breaks easily into flat layers!
• Mineral crystals & rock/fossil fragments become stretched & deformed.
• Mineral crystals INCREASE in SIZE due to recrystallization!
• Porosity is greatly reduced.
• Net result is significantly altered or METAMORPHOSED rocks.
• Recrystallization of many minerals occurs = Porphyroblasts!

Chemical Reaction:
• Permeable rocks allow fluids to flow through pore
space.
• Fluids (or materials dissolved in them) which flow
through pore spaces can react with the original rock.
• Reaction produces new mineral assemblages, and
therefore new METAMORPHOSED rocks.
• Often fluids migrate away from an area of heating
caused by the intrusion of magma.
![Page 21: Geology 12 - Metamorphic Rocks Outlinebondsclasses.weebly.com/uploads/1/9/7/3/19733603/geol-_metamorphic.pdf · Geology 12 - Metamorphic Rocks Outline: 1. General Information 2.

• These fluids then leave one area and enter another.
• These fluids often carry various dissolved gasses and minerals.
• Areas that GAIN fluids & areas that LOSE fluids will end
up being changed chemically = METAMORPHOSED!
• This change can be brought about without the help of pressure/stress =
Contact Metamorphism…
i.e. an area of “Country rock” surrounding a magma is altered simply by the heat from the magma

Parent Rocks: - PROTOLITH• Simply enough…the metamorphic changes that
will/can occur in a rock depend on the original mineral composition of the “Parent Rock”.
• This initial “Parent Rock Composition” interacts in a complex way with temperature, pressure, and chemical reactions.
• The result is a Metamorphic rock which is a complex relationship between these four factors:
Ex. A parent rock of shale can become slate, phyllite, schist, or gneiss, depending on the temperature, pressure, and chemical reactions it undergoes!!

The Two
Main Categories
of
Metamorphic Rock:

There Are Two Main Categories of
Metamorphic Rocks:
#1 FOLIATED Page #193 Lab Manual
#2 NON-FOLIATED Page #194 Lab Manual
![Page 25: Geology 12 - Metamorphic Rocks Outlinebondsclasses.weebly.com/uploads/1/9/7/3/19733603/geol-_metamorphic.pdf · Geology 12 - Metamorphic Rocks Outline: 1. General Information 2.

•Foliation forms when pressure squeezes
the flat or elongate minerals within a
rock so they become aligned.
•These rocks develop a platy or sheet-like
structure that reflects the direction that
pressure was applied.
#1 FOLIATED:

In this old exam question, they asked which direction the
force that aligned the mineral crystals was applied from.
This is an example of foliation…caused by directed
stress/pressure…found in areas of REGIONAL
METAMORPHISM!

Slate has a SIMPLE & FLAT foliation in
which the rock will break into hard flat
sheets…called SLATEY CLEAVAGE!!

Phyllite has a slightly more complex
WAVY / WRINKLED foliation.
The minerals are altered in such a way
that they appear to have a somewhat
shiny “METALLIC LUSTER”
Foliated Metamorphic Grade - Stage #2:

Schists have a more complex foliation in
which the rock will break into SCALY sheets
… called SCHISTOSITY!!
They appear GLITTERY & very CRYSTALLY!
Foliated Metamorphic Grade - Stage #3:

it is more
wavy than
Phyllite!

Gneiss has a still more complex foliation
in which the minerals in the rock segregate
into alternating LIGHT & DARK
layers…called GNEISSIC BANDING!!

#2 NON-FOLIATED:
Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not have a
platy or sheet-like structure.
Crystals are NOT ALIGNED!
There are a couple of reasons that non-foliated
metamorphic rocks are produced:
![Page 40: Geology 12 - Metamorphic Rocks Outlinebondsclasses.weebly.com/uploads/1/9/7/3/19733603/geol-_metamorphic.pdf · Geology 12 - Metamorphic Rocks Outline: 1. General Information 2.

• Some rocks, such as limestone are made of minerals that are not flat or elongate.
• No matter how much pressure you apply, the crystals will not align!
![Page 41: Geology 12 - Metamorphic Rocks Outlinebondsclasses.weebly.com/uploads/1/9/7/3/19733603/geol-_metamorphic.pdf · Geology 12 - Metamorphic Rocks Outline: 1. General Information 2.

•In the process of Contact Metamorphism,
hot igneous rock intrudes into some pre-
existing rock.
•The pre-existing rock is essentially baked
by the heat, changing the mineral structure
of the rock without addition of pressure.
•If no pressure is applied, there can be no
alignment of mineral crystals and therefore
no foliation!

Environments
of
Metamorphism:

There are two Environments of
Metamorphism:
#1 Regional Metamorphism
#2 Contact Metamorphism
![Page 44: Geology 12 - Metamorphic Rocks Outlinebondsclasses.weebly.com/uploads/1/9/7/3/19733603/geol-_metamorphic.pdf · Geology 12 - Metamorphic Rocks Outline: 1. General Information 2.

1. Regional Metamorphism:
• occurs on a large scale, typically involving hundreds of square kilometers of surface area.
• It is the most widespread of the metamorphic typesand is typical of the major fold-mountain belts such as the Appalachians, Himalayas, Alps or Rocky Mountains.
• Results from faulting and folding associated with mountain building processes and therefore lots of STRESS.

• A process that is usually associated with
convergent plate tectonic boundaries.
• In this type of environment, folding and
differential stress are common; consequently
foliation is a common feature of regionally
metamorphosed rocks.

Compressive stresses involved in plate collisions result in folding
of the rock & increased PRESSURE & TEMPERATURE.
The result is large areas of FOLIATED Metamorphosed rock!

2. Contact Metamorphism:• Is a local type of metamorphism that develops at the "contact"
of hot igneous intrusions and the surrounding rocks.
• The contact metamorphism is driven entirely by addition of heat into the surrounding rocks.
• Consequently this type of metamorphism is also referred to as thermal metamorphism.

• Metamorphism is typically restricted to a thin layer or "aureole" between 1 - 2 km wide adjacent to the place where the igneous rock was.
• Since this environment is not associated with application of direct stress, the metamorphic rocks in contact aureoles usually do not exhibit foliation.

Country Rock:
• Country rock touches against hot igneous intrusions.
• Country rock will be altered by the contact with the magma.
• This is an example of Contact Metamorphism.
• Rock closest to the intrusion is altered or METAMORPHOSED the MOST!
» Therefore, the “Highest Grade” metamorphic rocks will be closest to the magma, and the “Lowest Grade” metamorphic rocks will be furthest from it.

Intrusions:
• The magmatic intrusion will cool the fastest at the boundary where it touches the country rock.
• Therefore, the intrusion will have the smallest crystals near the country rock, and the largest crystals away from the country rock = Chilled Margins!

What is Metamorphic Grade?
• A measure of the INTENSITY of metamorphism to which a metamorphic rock was subjected
i.e. how much heat, pressure, chemical reaction?
• Low-Grade Metamorphic rocks experience the leasttemperature, pressure, & chemical reaction, and hence, the least amount of metamorphism.
• High-grade Metamorphic rocks experience the most!
• We will apply it mostly to the Foliated Metamorphic Rocks.

Order of Metamorphic Grade:
In Foliated Rocks
The metamorphic grade is as follows (see figure 7.15 Lab Manual):
Shale Slate Phyllite Schist Gneiss
(Parent Rock) (Low-Grade Met.) (Medium-Grade Met.) (High-Grade Met.)
The next step after Gneiss is MELTING!

• Once you know the unknown rock’s texture,mineral
composition, and any other important features, you have
already arrived at step three of metamorphic rock
classification.
• Now all you have to do is name the rock.
• Once you know the name of the Metamorphic Rock, you
can determine what the PARENT ROCK was!
• Now you can identify some uses of the Metamorphic Rock!
• That’s it!!
