Assignment:

Watch the video (link below) entitled Identifying Metamorphic Rocks - Earth Rocks! A link to this video is provided below. After watching this video, answer below questions:

Where do interior mountain belts form? Do they form at divergent boundaries, subduction zones, continental-continental convergent boundaries, or transform boundaries?
What type of stress are rocks subjected to at these boundaries? Are they subjected to tensional stress, compressional stress, or shear stress?
As an interior mountain belt forms, the intensity of the stress that rocks are subjected to is greater at their core and decreases toward their outskirts, or the stress is greater at their outskirts and decreases toward their core?
Based on how stress is applied across interior mountain belts, what is the likely arrangement of the four common types of foliated metamorphic rocks within these mountain belts? From the core to the outskirts of interior mountain belts, are the common foliated metamorphic rocks arranged from gneiss, schist, phyllite, and slate, or slate, phyllite, schist, and gneiss?
