Metamorphism The transition of one rock into another by temperatures and/or pressures unlike those in which it formed. Metamorphic rocks are produced from Igneous rocks Sedimentary rocks Other metamorphic rocks

Metamorphism Progresses incrementally from low to high-grade Rock must remains essentially solid throughout process Agents of metamorphism include heat, pressure and chemically-active fluids

Metamorphic settings Contact or thermal metamorphism – driven by a rise in temperature within the host rock Hydrothermal metamorphism – chemical alterations from hot, ion-rich water Regional metamorphism (mountain building)

Agents of metamorphism Heat: The most important agent recrystallization of mineral grains and chemical precipitates Formation of new, stable minerals Two sources of heat Contact metamorphism – heat from magma An increase in temperature with depth due to the geothermal gradient

Geothermal Gradient

Agents of metamorphism Pressure (stress) increases with depth Confining pressure: applies forces equally in all directions Example: depositional environment Differential stress: applies unequal forces in different directions Example: mountain-building environment

Result of differential stress Gneiss, a metamorphic Rock from Baffin Island, Canada.

Role of Parent Rock Mineral composition of parent rock determines mineral composition of metamorphic daughter rock (often the same or similar: Sandstone and quartzite Limestone and marble Mineral composition of parent rock determines grade of metamorphism that takes place:

Quartz sandstone, sedimentary parent rock of quartzite

Quartzite – Metamorphosed Sandstone

Limestone, sedimentary parent rock of marble

Marble – Metamorphosed Limestone

Low grade to high grade Metamorphism (left-right)
