Full Description
This exam investigates the roles of pressure and temperature in the metamorphic process, focusing on how variations in these parameters affect rock properties.
Understanding the conditions of metamorphism is critical for interpreting the geological history and for applications such as resource exploration and risk assessment of geological hazards.
Candidates will demonstrate their ability to explain the pressure-temperature (P-T) paths of metamorphic rocks and relate these paths to specific metamorphic environments.
Discussions will include the implications of P-T conditions on the stability of minerals and the development of textures within metamorphic rocks.
Sample Questions
- What is the significance of pressure-temperature diagrams in understanding metamorphism?
- Describe how variations in temperature influence the metamorphic processes of a rock.
