Concept of
Metamorphic Rocks and metamorphism

Concept of metamorphic rocks
METAMORPHIC ROCKS Controls on metamorphism by: P,T, fluids Isotherm Geothermal gradient Confining pressure Directed pressure Regional metamorphism Contact metamorphism High-P metamorphism Burial or low-grade metamorphism Foliated texture Crystal Growth Pressure-Temperature Paths (pro-grade and
retrograde metamorphism)

Factors that control the type and and degree Metamorphism
•Heat
•Pressure
•Fluids
![Page 5: Concept of Metamorphic Rocks and metamorphism. Concept of metamorphic rocks METAMORPHIC ROCKS Controls on metamorphism by: P,T, fluids Isotherm.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cb85503460f9497e4e1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Temperature increases with depth A typical continental geothermal gradient is 30 degrees C per kilometer
Where is the 1300 degree isotherm?
Old lithosphere - 150 km
New lithosphere (Divergent) - 30 km
Volcanic regions (Convergent)- 50 km

Confining Pressure
Confining pressure is the same in all directions (incl. 3rd dimension)
Confining pressure implies that there is little more in one direction that in the other directions.
In water, that is
one ton per m2 each meter of depth
10 m ~ 1 atm or 10 tons of pressure

Directed Pressure
When one pressure is greater than the other three (incl. 3rd dimension)
If directed pressure is great enough rocks can break and/or fold

Fluids
•Accelerate chemical reactions
•Dissolve ions and move them from one mineral to another
•(A change in rock composition by fluid transport is metasomatismmetasomatism)
