1) Name another location on the Earth today has the same tectonic setting as Morrow Mountain did 500 to 600 million years ago. 2) If the foliation on a rock is running north-south what direction is the tectonic pressure coming from? 3) Give the rock I examined in the parking lot a name that is closest to the names of metamorphic rocks we learned. It’s foliated with a flat surface that is just a little bit shiny from the growth of the mineral Mica. 4) Is it a good idea to take data on the orientation of foliation of any rock that we find? Why or why not? 5) Why are underfit streams so common in the southern United States? 6) In Medieval times a ruler told the peasants that they were free to take anything from the forest that had fallen, branches, trees, leaves etc. But they were not to take any live standing trees. Within a few years the forest was dying. Why? (that is a true story btw). 7) The area we visited was originally volcanic but the rocks we saw were metamorphic. What future event on the east coast of the US likely provided the heat and pressure to metamorphose the rock we saw?
