What to expect at Convergent plate boundaries

shallow earthquake boundary, deeper toward boundary, deep trenches, volcanoes, arcs

What to expect at trasform boundaries
volcanic not evidence, no trench age data, no volcanoes
what to expect at divergent boundaries
new sea floor (very distinct) earthquakes (shallow on plate boundary) seismic activity

Texture

how large mineral grains are
felsic
often lighter high in silica and aluminum
mafic

often darker high in magnesium and Iron

3 way other than clastic that sedimentary rocks form

chemical, biological or chemical processes, organic-burried, lithifies, compaction, dewater

high grade metamorphic means it was mad under __ conditions
high heat and pressure
pyroclastic flow
ash flow, fast moving current of hot gas and rock
lahar
mud flow, can be triggered by volcanic ash
composite volcanoe
a cone shaped volcanoe mountain composed of alternatily layers, pyroclastic materials
what type of plate boundary is most likely to produce a violent volcanic eruption?

Convergent

Foliation
streaks formed when metamorphic rocks are being formed arrangement of structural or textual features in any rock resulting from alignment of minerals and grains
bigger crystals more permeable t/f
true
Clastic more permeable T/F
True
Bedding of rocks
show layers often in sedimentary rocks
Clasts are formed with low temperature/high pressure
conglomerate, sandstone, rocks broken and joined together sedimentary rocks
Crystals
generally form in igneous, can form in metamorphic generally pretty small.
granit has clasts or crystals ?
Crystal
sandstone clast or crystal?
clast
does shale or sandstone have greater permeability?
Sandstone has greater permeability

clast
does shale or sandstone have greater permeability?
Sandstone has greater permeability
small crystal rocks
Gneiss, obsidian, rhyolite,
small clastic rocks
sandstone
large clast
breccia, conglomerate
Large crystal
Gabbro, Granite
Visible mica in what rock
Schist
good permeability
sandstone
not permeable to poor
basalt, breccia, conglomerate, gneiss, gabbro, granite, limestone vaireis, marble, obsidian, rhyolite, shale, schist
Foliation
Gneiss, schist
Bedding
limestone, sandstone, shale
Basalt
Dark rock! igneous rock, crystals or clast too small to tell, small size, poor permeability, no bedding or foliation
Breccia
Clast very large and angular! Sedimentary, clastic, poor permeabilty
Conglomerate
Large round round clast! sedimentary, clast large permeability poor
Gabbro
Large crystal dark igneous rock!
Gneis
