Missed 4, 6, & 10! Would have gotten those if I would have just clicked on the one I thought was right and not second guessed myself and clicked on something else ! Never was good a multiple choice tests. Does that mean I'm a failure in rocks101? llana

GNEISS (pronounced nice) Gneiss is a high-grade metamorphic rock that can have many different parent rocks, with the most common being granite, diorite and schist. The buildup of intense heat and pressure over a very long period of time enables the migration of atoms within the rock leading to the formation of mineral bands that are oriented perpendicular to the directions of pressure. This banding develops a crude sort of foliation, typically as alternating layers of light minerals (quartz and feldspar) and dark minerals (hornblende and biotite mica). As gneiss approaches its melting point, the dark and light-colored mineral bands can bend and become quite contorted. Of course, if temperature rises too high, the rock will melt and return to the igneous phase of the rock cycle. PS... Got this info from this place

I got 6/10, the clues in the column helped with my decision, if I could only look at the rock I would not have gotten very many of them right. Tami

Hey everyone,
10/10 ... I guess we do keep certain aspects of school with us!
2 years physical geology and 2 years historical geology and 2 years of lapidary! Who knew that 24 years later I would have another test?
