Spot the correct spelling of an REE-bearing metamorphic texture word.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Porphyroblastic
Incorrect spellings: Prophiroblastic, Porfyrblustic, Porpheroblastic
Correct spelling: Porphyroblastic
Meaning: Refers to a metamorphic texture in which large crystals (porphyroblasts) are embedded in a finer-grained matrix; often associated with minerals that can contain rare earth elements (REEs).
Example: The rock displayed a distinct porphyroblastic texture with garnet crystals set in a fine-grained matrix.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
