Full Description
This exam centers on identifying and understanding the various textures found in metamorphic rocks, with a focus on how they inform geological history.
Metamorphic textures serve as indicators of the metamorphic conditions and the tectonic processes at work, impacting both academic research and resource exploration.
Candidates will be tested on their ability to describe and differentiate textures such as foliation, lineation, and granoblastic forms while assessing their implications for understanding metamorphic environments.
Attention will also be given to the relationship between texture and mineral assemblage, highlighting the functions of specific minerals in particular metamorphic settings.
Sample Questions
- How does foliation in metamorphic rocks indicate the conditions of formation?
- What role do mineral assemblages play in determining metamorphic textures?
