This alteration is referred to as metamorphism. Figure 4, on the next page, shows a series oflayered rocks consisting of sedimentary formations that have been cut by a dike (cross-cutting planarintrusion), and, at greater depth, intruded by a batholith (large intrusion). It is in situations like this thatsedimentary layers can be metamorphosed due to their proximity to hot, molten rock from whichchemically active solutions are released. Near the dike, rocks which further away are limestones (114) havemetamorphosed into marbles (154). Similarly, sandstones (141) have become quartzites (165). In thevicinity of the batholith, the action of heat and chemical solutions is accompanied by pressure produced bythe batholith as it forces its way upward. Horizontal rock layers exposed to such pressure are folded anddeformed. The result is the highly contorted layering illustrated in Figure 10. Such layering producedduring metamorphism is called foliation. In such situations, rocks undergo varying degrees ofmetamorphism depending on their proximity to the batholith and to the intensity of deformation. Shales(112) can be metamorphosed to slates (159), schists (167), and gneiss (173) as metamorphic intensityincreases.IGNEOUSROCKSORIGINALLYSANDSTONEORIGINALLYLIMESTONEORIGINALLYSHALE10165 XX 154DIKEX167BATHOLITH99X 159X 114X 141X 112X 173FIGURE 4: Generalized cross-section of a sequence of sedimentary rocks intruded by an igneous batholith.The layers show their original horizontal orientation away from the batholith where pressure resulting fromthe upward movement of the batholith is small, but near the batholith where pressures are much higher, thelayering has been deformed, and is greatly contorted.
