Concept explainers
All of the following can occur during metamorphism EXCEPT
(a) melting.
(b) recrystallization.
(c) changes in composition.
(d) changes in crystal size.
The correct option for the statement “All of the following can occur during metamorphism EXCEPT.”
Answer to Problem 4RAT
The correct option for the statement “All of the following can occur during metamorphism EXCEPT” is option (a).
Explanation of Solution
The transformation of rock due to the change in physical and chemical states is known as metamorphism. In metamorphism, the rock structure is changed under high temperature and pressure.
The process of change in rocks occurs by recrystallization, change in composition and crystal size. The only process which never takes place in metamorphism is melting. The change in rock can take place by two metamorphisms that are contact and regional metamorphism.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement “All of the following can occur during metamorphism EXCEPT” is option (a).
