16. Using the diagram at right, which of the three index minerals would you anticipate to form nearest to an igneous intrusion near the Earth's surface during contact metamorphism? (A) kyanite; (B) sillimanite; (C) andalusite. (D) All three minerals would be present. 17. Which mineral would be most likely present in an accretionary prism (the sediments that get folded up near the surface in a subduction zone)? (A) kyanite; (B) sillimanite; (C) andalusite. (D) All three minerals would be present. Rock name Mineral occurrence Shale Clay Metamorphism of pelitic rock aissaid 18. Using the chart below, which minerals would not be found in a gneiss? (A) muscovite (C) biotite (B) quartz (D) sillimanite 19. Which of the following would be a good index mineral for a slate? (A) quartz (C) Silimanite (B) Garnet (D) chlorite Slate Phyllite Schist Chlorite Kyanite stable 8 01.0 8 8:8 Muscovite Biotite B 40 8 od Quartz/Feldspar Andalusite stable Garnet temperature Staurolite Kyanite Gneiss Sillimanite Sillimanite stable 20. Which statement about radioactive decay is correct? (A) You cannot predict when a particular parent atom will decay, but only the average behavior of a very large population of parent atoms. (B) All of the radioactive isotopes in nature have exactly the same half-life, which is what makes the isotopic clock so accurate.
