Foliation Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

In these notes, you will learn about metamorphism, metamorphic rocks, how temperature, pressure, time, and fluids affect metamorphic rocks, metamorphic rock classification, the development of foliation, foliated metamorphic rocks, non-foliated metamorphic rocks, and metamorphic facies

What are the effects on metamorphic minerals and textures of temperature, confining pressure and differential stress? - Temp increses dehydsrates the rocks, confining the rocks, compacting them. Differential stresses produces foilation dues to stress in 1/2 directions Describe the role of fluids during metamorphism and metasomatism - Fluids speed up chemical reactions at lower temperature Compare the pressure and temperature condition of regional and contact metamorphism. How do regional m...
