3. The parent material of a metamorphic rock is known as the _______.

4. True or False? Regional metamorphism is a localized event.

5. What are the three types of metamorphism?

Explanation / Answer

1. Regional metamorphism affects rocks over an extensive area as a result of the large scale of heat and pressure so it can be found in the core of the Himalayas.

2. Slate - lowest grade metamorphism

Phyllite- second lowest grade metamorphism(low grade,but higher than phyllite)

Schist- second highest grade metamorphism(medium grade)

Gneiss- high grade metamorphism

3. Parent material of metamorphic rock is protolith

4. Regional metamorphism is not a localised event because it occurs on a large scale.

5. Three types of metamorphism are

a) Contact metamorphism- occurs adjacent to igneous intrusion

b) Regional metamorphism- occurs on a very large scale and does not associate with igneous bodies

c) Dynamic metamorphism- occurs on account of dynamic activities.

Rest all are repeat questions.
