Metamorphic Rock Group

Metamorphic Rock Group:

Directions: Add your answers to following question and complete self-reflection portion at the bottom.

1. How are metamorphic rocks formed?

2. What are some examples of metamorphic rock?

3. What are some of the ways humans have used metamorphic rocks?

Self-Reflection: What is one thing you learned about metamorphic rock that you did not know before this activity? Did you enjoy the activity? Was it easier or more difficult working in groups? Add any other comments you would like.

  1. 1. Metamorphic rocks are made by sedimentary rocks which are buried deep in the Earth. The sedimentary rocks are buried deep in the Earth at high pressure and high temperatures. The metamorphic rocks form near two tetonic plates coming together. The colliding tetonic plates squish the rocks up and hot pools of magma heat the rocks up.


    2.Some examples of metamorphic rocks are mica, lapis lazuli, anthrocite coal, marble, gneiss, slate, and quartzite.

    3. Some ways humans use metamorphic rocks are by using lapis lazuli for jewelery. Humans use marble for building buildings and statues. Humans in the olden days used slate to make chalkboards for the chalkboards on the wall and for students. Anthrocite coal is used for fuel.

    Self Reflection: Something that I learned about metamorphic rocks that I did not know before was that metamorphic rocks formed underground. I enjoyed the activity. I enjoyed the activity because I enjoyed watching the videos which we used to get information for our type of rock. I also enjoy finding facts about rocks. To me it is easier to work in groups. It is easier to work in groups because everybody can work together.

  2. 1.Metamorphic rocks are form deep inside the earth's core. when sedimentary rocks are under pressuer and heat.then,the metamorphic forms between two tectonic plates that are coming together.which pushes the rock to a pool of magma.

    2.A example of metamorphic is Marble ,quartzites,schist,Gneiss,Eclogite and many more


    3.Some ways that people use metamorphic rocks is for shingles on a roof made of slate ,marble is used for statues and quartzite is used for making glass.

    self reflection- one thing i did not know about metamorphic rock is that.It is formed in magma.yes i enjoyed the activity very much.it was super easy working in groups.It would be very hard alone

  3. 1.metamorphic rocks are formed by any kind of rock because it is going to be made of sedimantry igneous and then that how metamophic rocks are formed metamorphic rock could be made of
    and any kind of rock because it is important




    2.an example of a metamorphic it is made by heat and pressure an another example is that matamorphic-
    rocks are made by ignous and sedimantry and another example of a metamorphic rock is called a nize
    and that how metamorphic rock are made.





    3.the way you need to use metamorphic rock the way humans use
    it that they have to take care of it because the metamorphic rock bcuase
    the matamorphic rock could brake easily.







    self reflection:I learned that metamorphic rocks could brake
    easily because you have to take care of it. I did enjoy
    the activity. because metamorphic rocks are important.
    metamorphic rocks are so important cause you have to take
    care of it alot.

  4. 1.Metamorphic rocks are formed by extreme heat and pressure deep inside Earth are called metamorphic.The heat comes from magma and the pressure comes from rocks squeezing each other.Metamorphic rocks can be made from igneous,sedimentary, or even from other metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks can is also made from limestone.

    2. Four examples of metamorphic are slate,court site,marble,gneiss and many more. Metamorphic rocks are made in different things and they are smooth or either rough.


    3.People use the rocks for building things like slate is used for tiles for walk ways and because slate is water proof it is used to build roofs.Marble is used in statues and buildings because marble does not break apart in layers when you carve it. Quartzite is used for glass making and used in seramics tile floors stone walls and swimming pools.It is also used in jewelry and many other items.


    Self Reflection:Something i didn't know about metamorphic rocks was that you could use rocks to build things.I liked this activity because you can learn about rocks and things you didn't know.It was easier because you could get more opinions from your group and you can make your presentation about your rock more interesting.

  5. 1. Metamorphic rocks are formed by extreme heat and pressure deep inside earth are called metamorphic. The heat comes from magma and the pressure comes from rock squeezing each other.Metamorphic rocks can be made from igneous and sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks. metamorphic rocks can is also made from limestone.

    2. Four metamorphic are geniss,slate,courtside and marble and many more. Metamorphic rocks are made in different things and they are smooth and even rough.

    3. People use the rocks for building things like is used for walkways and because slate is waterproof its used for roofs. Marble is used in statues and buildings because marble does not break apart in layers when you carve it. Quartzite is used for glass making and used in ceramics tile floors stone walls and swimming pools. It is also used in jewelry and many other items.

    self reflection: I did not know that there are many different kinds of metamorphic rocks like slate,courtside,and marble.I also did not know that they were used for different for different things like roofs and walk ways.I enjoyed the activity because I learned so much out of it like how did metamorphic rocks are formed and how were they used.Also I enjoyed it because it was fun looking at diffirent things. It was easier working together because we all learned in groups. I hope make another project again.

  6. 1. Metamorphic rocks are formed by extreme heat and pressure deep inside the earth called metamorphic. The heat comes from magma and the pressure comes from rock squeezing each other.

    2. Four examples metamorphic rocks are slate, court site, marble, gneiss and many more. Metamorphic rocks are made in different things and they are smooth or either rough .

    3. People use the rocks for building things like slate is used for walk ways and because slate is water proof it is also used for billings roofs. Marble is used in statues and buildings because marble dose not break apart in layers when you carve it. slate can also be used to make a pool,tiles, and sometimes your homes.



    Self-reflection: I know that metamorphic rock is made from magma and pressure that comes from deep underneath the earth. I enjoyed this activity because you get to know things that you didn't now before. It was more easier because you have people in your group that can help you. I also like my group because when I was sow far behind they helped me.

  8. Lorenzo,
    You need to know where to put periods. You also need to work on spelling. you should put more than one sentence in your answer.

  9. Carlos, in some sentences you forgot capitals and periods. And your answer to the first question doesn't make sense that much.

  10. Hi Teyssy,
    You did well on your answers except you spelled some words wrong and you have to put spaces after comas.

  11. dear lorenzo,


    when I read your comments they were
    kind of good cause the only thing you missed
    was not spelling the words right And you have you put capitals.

  12. Edgar,
    You forgot to put rocks after the word metamorphic. You have to capitalize letters in some sentences. You have to put spaces in between a coma and a word. Everything else is good.

  13. Gage,
    You forgot to add some words and everything else is really good.

  14. dear carlos,
    I didn't uderstand number 1,2 or 3. you need to learn where to puy your periods

    ReplyDelete
  15. Carlos the first sentence makes no sense at all also the sentence never ends. In the second sentence doesent end either and example does not have a s. On the third one a sentence doesn't start with a lower case letter.

  16. It was great but I think you shoud put a little bit more sentences because it was to short. Also you need to add a little more detale.
