Metamorphic Rocks

Metamorphic Rocks. Mt Shuksan and Mt Baker, J Scurlock. Mt Shuksan N Face, J Scurlock. The Rock Cycle. If you bury a rock deep enough, it will melt (IGNEOUS) Not so deep, a rock will become lithified (SEDIMENTARY) At conditions (Pressures and Temperatures) just right, metamorphism occurs.

The Limits of Metamorphism

The Limits of Metamorphism. Low-temperature limit grades into diagenesis The boundary is somewhat arbitrary Diagenetic/weathering processes are indistinguishable from metamorphic Metamorphism begins in the range of 100-150 o C for the more unstable types of protolith

Agents of Metamorphism

Three Metamorphic agents cause rocks to change;. During metamorphism, rocks are often subjected to all three agents at the same time. Agents of Metamorphism. 1) increased heat. 2) increased pressure. 3) chemically active fluids. Reference: Pages 193 - 196.
