Regional Metamorphism

Regional Metamorphism Grades and Common Characteristic Minerals. There are many kinds of classification of regional metamorphic rocks, and they are usually divided into four types: (1) orogenic metamorphic rock, (2) ocean-floor metamorphic rock, (3) burial metamorphic rock, and (4) migmatite in terms of tectonics.

As described above, regional metamorphism occurs when rocks are buried deep in the crust. This is commonly associated with convergent plate boundaries and the formation of mountain ranges. Because burial to 10 km to 20 km is required, the areas affected tend to be large. Rather than focusing on metamorphic rock textures (slate, schist, gneiss ...

Definition, Conditions and Types of Metamorphism

Abstract. The process of rock metamorphism changes the mineralogical and chemical composition, as well as the structure of rocks. Metamorphism is typically associated with elevated temperature and pressure; thus it affects rocks within the earth's crust and mantle. The process is driven by changing physical and/ or chemical conditions in ...
