Determine whether a rock formed at the following pressures and temperatures typically would be sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous. If metamorphic, determine whether the rock would be considered low-, medium-, or high-grade
? Pressure = 1 kb, Temperature = 700 °C
? Pressure = 2 kb, Temperature = 100 °C
? Pressure = 3 kb, Temperature = 300 °C
? Pressure = 4 kb, Temperature = 500 °C
? Pressure = 6 kb, Temperature = 1100 °C
? Pressure = 7 kb, Temperature = 1000 °C
What will be an ideal response?
Pressure = 1 kb, Temperature = 700 °C Metamorphism (high-grade)
Pressure = 2 kb, Temperature = 100 °C Sedimentary
Pressure = 3 kb, Temperature = 300 °C Metamorphism (low-grade)
Pressure = 4 kb, Temperature = 500 °C Metamorphism (medium-grade)
Pressure = 6 kb, Temperature = 1100 °C Igneous
Pressure = 7 kb, Temperature = 1000 °C Metamorphism (high-grade)
