Question

Which of the following minerals is commonly produced during metamorphism?

1) garnet
2) chlorite
3) muscovite
4) zeolite
5) all of the above

Answer 1

Garnet is commonly produced during metamorphism.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mineral commonly produced during metamorphism is garnet. During metamorphism, rocks with a shale protolith will have quartz, feldspar, and muscovite mica. However, garnet is a new mineral that often forms as porphyroblasts during metamorphism.
