Question
Sometimes metamorphic rock can be seen after ________ and _________ erode the rocks that had been lying on top of them.
hurricanes; tornadoes
glaciers; sunshine
blizzards; floods
rain; wind
6) Select the best answer.
The two processes that form metamorphic rock are _________ and _________.
site metamorphism; underground metamorphism
chemical metamorphism; mechanical metamorphism
contact metamorphism; regional metamorphism
local metamorphism; global metamorphism
7) Select the best answer.
Explain the process of contact metamorphism.
Very large rocks are buried in an earthquake. The buried rock gets squeezed and heated until it changes into a new type of rock.
Small pebbles are created by weathering. Over time, they are compacted into rock through pressure.
Lava flows underground and changes the igneous rocks to metamorphic rock through heat.
Hot magma flows out of a volcano onto the already existing rocks of the ground. When the heated lava touches these rocks, it causes them to change properties.
8) Select the best answer.
Explain the process of regional metamorphism.

9) Select the best answer.
__________ usually takes place in small areas, only as far as heated lava can reach. _________ takes place in very large areas.
Regional metamorphism; Contact metamorphism
Contact metamorphism; Regional metamorphism
10) Select the best answer.
How are metamorphic rocks identified? Explain.
by their appearance; nearly every metamorphic rock has a striped pattern
by their color; nearly every metamorphic rock is white
by their hardness; nearly every metamorphic rock is extremely hard
by their size; nearly every metamorphic rock is very small
