METAMORPHISM
• Metamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture in pre-
existing rocks without the protolith melting into liquid magma.
• In simple words, metamorphism means change. Change of minerals or
texture in pre-existing rocks.
• The change occurs primarily due to heat, pressure, and the
introduction of chemically active fluids.
• Metamorphism typically occurs between diagenesis (max. 200°C)
and melting (~850°C).
