Metamorphic Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Metamorphic Rock - correct answer -mineralogy, texture and/or composition has changed due to pressure, temperature and/or fluids (and enough time) Metasomatic Rock - correct answer -A metamorphic rock whose whole bulk chemical composition was altered during interaction with fluids Role of Pressure - correct answer -a result of overlying weight and/or horizontally oriented forces developed as the rocks are deformed. Greater weight tends to decrease space available for mineral growth, so the...
