UNIT QUIZ: Unit 10 Review Quiz

Take this quiz only after you've gone over the materials for this unit (Metamorphism and Metamorphic Rocks).

This quiz contain 35 questions about the topics/ideas/concepts discussed in this unit and will be used to measure your understanding of these topics/ideas/concepts. Questions will be taken from both the readings and video resources presented in this unit.

You can take this quiz multiple times, but you'll need to get 80% or higher before you can proceed to the next unit. If you do not reach 80% on your first attempt, use it to identify your knowledge gaps (concepts from the video that you are still struggling to understand). Once you identify these gaps, go back to the reading and video materials and review these concepts BEFORE starting your second attempt at the quiz. Only the highest grade among all your attempts will be uploaded to the gradebook.

The essential learning outcomes for this unit are:

• Explain how metamorphism differs from diagenesis and lithification;
• Describe the temperature and pressure conditions required for metamorphism;
• Define metamorphic grade and foliation;
• Describe how pore fluids, stress, and time affect the results of metamorphism;
• Identify the types of physical changes that occur in rock and minerals during metamorphism;
• Describe contact, burial, and regional metamorphism;
• Identify the tectonic settings where the different types of metamorphism are likely to occur;
• Define metasomatism and explain how it differs from metamorphism;
• Define metamorphic zones and metamorphic facies;
• Explain how metamorphic facies correlate with the rocks temperature and pressure;
• Identify the common metamorphic products of shale and basalt and explain how they form;
• Identify several common types of foliated and nonfoliated metamorphic rocks.

Directions:

1. You are allowed multiple attempts at this quiz.
2. The highest grade of all your attempts will be listed as your grade for this quiz on the gradebook.
3. This quiz will be available to you for a minimum of 7 days and you can take it at any time during this availability window.
