Metamorphism / 08A / Leighty / Physical Geology (GLG 101IN)
We conclude our rock round-up with the third major rock type: metamorphic rocks. Here, the metamorphic conditions and processes involved in the creation of metamorphic rocks are described. It's fundamentally all about the effects of pressure, temperature, and fluids.
