What is Understanding Metamorphic Rocks and Processes about?
Metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks. Changes occur through heat, pressure, and fluids that allow minerals to recrystallize over long periods of time. The grade and type of metamorphism depends on the conditions during transformation, ranging from low-grade regional metamorphism to high-grade contact metamorphism near intrusions. Metamorphic facies reflect the temperature and pressure conditions during metamorphism and provide clues about the tectonic environment.
