Concepts you will need to know for the exams CHAPTER 6 • • • • 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 degree Metamorphism • Heat • Pressure • Fluids
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. 3 rd dimension) In water, that is one ton per m 2 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. 3 rd 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 metasomatism) metasomatism
TYPES OF METAMORPHISM Pressure (Impacts) Subduction Zones e Regional Metamorphism d ra Burial e r c g g in s a In Mountain belts (low-P, low-T), low-grade Fluids metasomatism) Contact Temperature
