Question

See Watch the Recrystallization and Neocrystallization topics of the Metamorphic Change Animation. Compare these two types of metamorphic change. Which of the following statements is generally true for both processes? Choose one: O A. The mineral composition of the rock does not change. O B. Mineral grain size increases. O C. New elements are introduced into the rock by hydrothermal fluids. O D. Shearing is required. O E. A well-developed foliation forms.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Solid state recrystallization is a changeable procedure that happens under circumstances of extreme temperature and pressure where grains, iotas or particles of a stone or mineral are packed nearer together, resulting in another crystal structure. The basic constitution remains unchanged.

Whenever transformed, those little crystals are gradually constrained together under high weight and start to frame bigger, increasingly unmistakable crystals of calcite found in the marble (metamorphic rock)

Whenever transformed, these minerals grains will transform to garnet and muscovite mica.
