Types of Metamorphism – 9 examples
Metamorphism The mineralogical, chemical, and structural adjustment of solid rocks to physical and chemical conditions which have generally been imposed at depth below the surface zones of weathering and cementation, and which differ from the conditions under which the rocks in question originated. Metamorphism means to “change form,”. In other words, metamorphism is a process … Read more
What are Agents of Metamorphism?
Three agents of metamorphism are temperature, pressure and chemically active fluids. Metamorphic rocks form by recrystallization in the solid state because of changes in temperature, pressure, or the composition of pore fluids. Agents of Metamorphism The process of metamorphism of rocks happens due to the effects of high temperature, pressure and chemically active fluids. These … Read more
