Answer to Question 1

Answer: Pressure increases as depth increases inside Earth. Increasing pressure causes many minerals to metamorphose into denser minerals that are more stable at high pressure. Recrystallization at high pressure changes rock texture without changing chemical composition or mineral content. Foliation describes planes of minerals formed in response to stress. Foliation is recognized by preferred orientation of minerals, reshaping of minerals, or alternating bands of different minerals.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
