  1. The Rock Cycle

  2. Metamorphosed Sedimentary Rock Formation of new minerals Recrystallization/deformation

  3. Recrystallization

  4. Recrystallization Limestone under microscope Marble under microscope 5 mm 5 mm

  5. Differential stress and the development of Slate

  6. Slate and Slaty cleavage Product of differential stress at low metamorphic grade Slate under the microscope Cleavage Cleavage Bedding Bedding

  7. Differential Stress and Folding

  8. Slaty cleavage and folding Cleavage Fold under the microscope Cleavage Cleavage

  9. Metamorphism and the formation of new minerals Chlorite + muscovite = garnet + biotite + H2O Garnet (Fe,Mg)3Al2Si3O12 Chlorite (Mg,Fe)6(Si,Al)4O10(OH)8 Muscovite (KAl3Si3O10(OH)2) Biotite (KAl(Mg,Fe)3Si3O10(OH)2)

  10. Schist Shistosity defined by muscovite Muscovite schist Garnet-biotite schist

  11. Gneiss Highest metamorphic grade Muscovite converted to feldspar 1 cm

  12. Partial melting Formation of migmatites

  13. Metamorphism of Shale Hornfels

  14. Sheet silicates in Metamorphism Muscovite (KAl3Si3O10(OH)2) Chlorite (Mg,Fe)6(Si,Al)4O10(OH)8 Biotite (KAl(Mg,Fe)3Si3O10(OH)2)

  15. Metamorphic Index Minerals Garnet (Fe,Mg)3Al2Si3O12 Staurolite (Fe,Mg)2Al9Si4O23(OH) Sillimanite Al2SiO5
