metamorphism

This process is called metamorphism; meaning to "change in form".

There are two high temperature low pressure regions of metamorphism.

They are not present in comparable deposits with very little metamorphism.

It is a rock formed from vegetable matter by the process of metamorphism.

The driving force behind this process of contact metamorphism was an increase in temperature.

Where both heat and pressure play a role, the mechanism is termed regional metamorphism.

These studies can also give useful information about pathways for metamorphism through pressure, temperature, space, and time.

Along with metamorphism folding and faulting of the rocks took place.

The zone was later in the Cretaceous affected by low grade metamorphism.

Meteorites are often given a rating from 1 to 6 showing the level of shock metamorphism.

It has also been inferred that such fires could be the cause for "thermal metamorphism".

According to the degree of deformation and metamorphism the rocks can take on very different appearances.

Several generally unrecognized but important controlling parameters of metamorphism have been suggested.

This is termed burial metamorphism, and it can result in rocks such as jade.

Impact metamorphism is, therefore, characterized by ultrahigh pressure conditions and low temperature.

The mineral forms as a product of metamorphism in manganese-bearing minerals.

It occurs as an alteration mineral in contact metamorphism of limestone.

The cycle began with a deformation phase unaccompanied by metamorphism.

These melts result following deformation and metamorphism, but the heat source is uncertain.

Metamorphism does not protect a virus against heuristic analysis.

Three types of metamorphism exist: contact, dynamic and regional.

Melt metamorphism is the deterioration of snow by melting.

Most of the original texture of the sandstone is destroyed by the metamorphism.

This is called destructive metamorphism and results in a higher density because the air is squeezed out.

Country rocks last metamorphism age: 900 to 600 my (Brazilian cycle)
