What is Understanding Metamorphic Rocks about?
Metamorphic rocks form through the change of existing rocks due to heat, pressure, and chemically active fluids. Heat provides the energy for chemical reactions and recrystallization, while pressure causes minerals to take on more compact forms or align in preferred orientations. Fluids transport ions within the rock and alter its mineralogy. There are three main types of metamorphism: contact metamorphism near igneous intrusions, regional metamorphism during mountain building, and hydrothermal metamorphism
