Question 1

What is Understanding Metamorphic Rocks about?

Accepted Answer

Here are the key properties to examine in the lab for each metamorphic rock:

1. Schist - Foliated texture with mica flakes

2. Gneiss - Banded/layered texture with light/dark minerals

3. Slate - Thinly foliated with cleavage planes

4. Marble - Coarse-grained without foliation

5. Quartzite - Hard, non-foliated with interlocking quartz grains

Examine the textures under a microscope or hand lens. Test hardness for some using the Mohs scale. Note any visible mineral components.
