· Metamorphic rocks. Scientifica/Corbis Documentary/Getty Images. The two basic fabric categories in metamorphic rocks are foliated and massive. Foliation means layers; more specifically it means that minerals with long or flat grains are lined up in the same direction. Usually, the presence of foliation means the rock was under high

1 of 2. next ›. Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have become changed by intense heat or pressure while forming. In the very hot and pressured conditions deep inside the Earth’s crust, both sedimentary and igneous rocks can be changed into metamorphic rock. In certain conditions these rocks cool and crystallize usually into bands of crystals.

The assemblages define a metamorphic field gradient (see Chap. 3) and rocks on this P–T array are said to be of low grade at low P–T and of successively higher grade with higher P–T conditions. The term metamorphic grade is a qualitative indicator of the physical conditions that have been operating on the rocks.

9.1 Heat pressure and fluids are the agents of metamorphism. Metamorphic rocks form when heat, pressure, or chemically reactive fluids cause changes in preexisting rocks (Figure 9.1). The preexisting (parent) rocks, called protoliths, can be igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rocks of any sort.

Metamorphism Occurs Between Diagenesis And Melting. Metamorphism is the change that takes place within a body of rock as a result of it being subjected to high pressure and/or high temperature.

Metamorphic rock-Facies, Pressure, Heat: Metamorphic petrologists studying contact metamorphism early in the 20th century introduced the idea of metamorphic facies (part of a rock or group of rocks that differs from the whole formation) to correlate metamorphic events.

5.3.1 Foliated Metamorphic Rocks. Differential pressures can cause a metamorphic pattern known as foliation to develop in metamorphosed rocks. There are a few types of foliations that are commonly seen in metamorphic rocks, each foliation type is dependent on the minerals that define the foliation. Gneissic banding.

Metamorphism is the changing of rocks by heat and pressure. During this process, rocks change either physically and/or chemically. They change so much that they become an entirely new rock.

Metamorphic texture describes the shape and orientation of mineral grains within a metamorphic rock. As the original rock is subjected to higher temperatures and pressures, some of its minerals might stretch out in a single direction, recrystallize, or enlarge. Therefore, the new metamorphic rock will have a different texture than the parent rock.
