  • Hornfels: Understanding Massive, Non-Banded Metamorphic Rocks
    The correct answer is Hornfels.Hornfels is a type of metamorphic rock that is massive and lacks banding. It is formed when fine-grained sedimentary or volcanic rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, but not enough to cause them to melt. Hornfels is often found near igneous intrusions, where it has been heated by the hot magma.
