1. How did you determine the compositions of sample N and sample Q? 2. Where might you find a rock like sample M being formed on Earth today? 3. Sample R is highly desired in the energy industry because it is the most "clean" variety. Using your knowledge of metamorphic processes, how do you think this rock becomes so "clean" compared to its protolith?
