What of the following changes may occur during metamorphism?

Metamorphism may affect igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks. The changes brought about include the formation of new minerals, increase in grain size, and modification of rock structure or texture, all of which depend on the original rock's composition and the intensity of the metamorphism.

What changes occur during metamorphism quizlet?

During metamorphism, rocks are subjected to sufficient heat, pressure and/or fluid activity change their mineral composition or texture, or both. Pressure is produced by overlying rocks (lithostatic) or differential pressure is produced by various stresses, especially from plate collisions.

What process can occur during metamorphism?

During metamorphism, protolith chemistry is mildly changed by increased temperature (heat), a type of pressure called confining pressure, and/or chemically reactive fluids. Rock texture is changed by heat, confining pressure, and a type of pressure called directed stress.

What kind of physical change occurs during metamorphism?

During metamorphism the protolith undergoes changes in texture of the rock and the mineral make up of the rock.
