Module 8 - Metamorphism

The document discusses metamorphism, which is the change in mineral components and texture of rocks due to changes in pressure and temperature. It aims to describe metamorphic changes, identify rock samples based on temperature and pressure effects, and analyze how temperature and pressure impact mineral composition and texture through diagrams. Metamorphism is defined as the change within a rock body subjected to conditions different from its formation, derived from the Greek words for "change" and "form".

Changes in Mineral

Components and
Texture of Rocks
(Metamorphism)
SLIDESMANIA.COM
After going through this
module, you are expected to:
➢ Describe the changes in mineral components and
texture of rocks due to changes in pressure and
temperature (metamorphism).
➢ Identify rock samples based on the effects of
changes on temperature and pressure.
➢ Analyze through a diagram on how temperature
and pressure affect the mineral components and
texture of rocks.

METAMORPHISM
● Metamorphism is the change that takes
place within a body of rock as a result of
it being subjected to conditions that are
different from those in which it is
formed.
● It is from the Greek word “meta” means
change and “morphe” means form.

Directions. The box on the left side contains important words which may
or may not be associated to metamorphic process. Identify words which
are related to the said process by choosing and writing the words on the
opposite box.
