This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master the concept of the process of metamorphism accompanying the changes in rocks’ composition and texture. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course.
The module discussions are evolving in the different factors affecting the process of metamorphism and its effect on the mineral and texture of the rocks.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. identify the factors involved in metamorphism,
2. differentiate the types of metamorphism; and
3. explain the effects of pressure and temperature on the composition and texture of the rocks undergoing metamorphism.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests. And read the instructions carefully before performing each task.
If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.
