State-Based Resources: Investigate
- Part B: Evidence of Igneous Rocks in Your Community
|
|
Examine the geologic map of
New Hampshire .
|
|
Understanding and Applying What You Have Learned
|
|
Examine the legend of a geologic map of
New Hampshire and your list of metamorphic rocks found in the region covered by
the map.
|
|
Preparing for the Chapter Challenge
|
|
Write a one or two paragraph description about the events and evidence
for metamorphism in your local area.
|
|
Inquiring Further
|
|
Research the history of the formation of metamorphic rocks in the
Appalachian Mountains.
Investigate how hydrothermal alteration leads to the formation
of deposits of valuable minerals like gold, silver, and copper.

Find out happens when temperature and pressure deform a rock.
Description includes clear black and white diagrams to support
explanation.
Foliation in Metamorphic Rocks
Metamorphic
Atlas of Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks, Minerals and Textures -
California State Polytechnic University
Read the definitions of foliated and non-foliated metamorphic
rocks. This site also has a helpful chart to demonstrate the different
type of foliations.
