Metamorphism is the process by which the mineralogical and chemical composition and structure of rocks change due to elevated temperatures and pressures within the Earth's crust and mantle. It is caused by heat, pressure, chemically active fluids, and results in changes like recrystallization and mineral transformations. The main types of metamorphism include contact, regional, hydrothermal, and impact metamorphism.

The mineralogical and structural adjustment of solid rocks to physic.pdfanubhavnigam2608
The mineralogical and structural adjustment of solid rocks to physical and chemical conditions
that have been imposed at depths below the near surface zones of weathering and diagenesis and
which differ from conditions under which the rocks in question originated.
The word \"Metamorphism\" comes from the Greek: meta = change, morph = form, so
metamorphism means to change form. In geology this refers to the changes in mineral
assemblage and texture that result from subjecting a rock to conditions such pressures,
temperatures, and chemical environments different from those under which the rock originally
formed.
There are two major kinds of metamorphism: regional and contact.
Regional metamorphism. Most metamorphic rocks are the result of regional metamorphism (also
called dynamothermal metamorphism). These rocks were typically exposed to tectonic forces
and associated high pressures and temperatures. They are usually foliated and deformed and
thought to be remnants of ancient mountain ranges.
Contact metamorphism. Contact metamorphism (also called thermal metamorphism) is the
process by which the country rock that surrounds a hot magma intrusion is metamorphosed by
the high heat flow coming from the intrusion. The zone of metamorphism that surrounds the
intrusion is called the halo (or aureole) and rarely extends more than 100 meters into the country
rock. Geostatic pressure is usually a minor factor, since contact metamorphism generally takes
place less than 10 kilometers from the surface.Metamorphism is defined as follows:

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. What is Metamorphisam
process that changes the mineralogical and chemical composition, as well as
the structure of rocks
Associated with elevated temperature and pressure,
Affects rocks within the earth’s crust and mantle
Metamorphism does not include, by definition, similar processes that
occur near the earth’s surface such as weathering, cementation and
diagenesis
5. Conditions of Metamorphisam
Temperatures at which metamorphism sets in are strongly dependent on the material under
investigation.
Transformation of evaporites, of vitreous material and of organic material, for example, begins
to take place at considerably lower temperatures than chemical reactions in most silicate and
carbonate rocks. Eg: coalification (maturation) its not metamorphisam
6. Transformations begin shortly after sedimentation and proceed continuously
with increasing burial. Whether such reactions are called “diagenetic” or
“metamorphic” ?????...
Further examples of processes that are intimately related to metamorphism
include low temperature alteration of volcanic rocks, precipitation of mineral
coatings in fractures and low-temperature rock–water reactions that produce
mineral-filled veins and fissures
Not metamorphic…..
7. Low temperature limit
the low-temperature limit of metamorphism has been arbitrarily
set to 150C ( +/- 50C)
lawsonite, paragonite,
prehnite, pumpellyite,
8. High temp limit
Melting temperatures are strongly dependent on pressure, rock composition
and the amount of water present.
granitic rocks begin to melt 660C will not melt below about 1,000C if no
water
while basaltic rocks need 800C. If H2O is absent, basalt require > 1,120C to
melt
The highest temperature reported from crustal metamorphic rocks are 1,000–
1,150C
Such rocks are termed ultra high temperature (UHT) metamorphic rocks and
are typically magnesian- and aluminous-rich gneisses, e.g. Napier Complex
(Antarctica),
9. Temperatures in the lower continental crust of geologically active areas are
inferred to be about 750–850C and the rocks produced under these conditions
are termed granulites.
convecting mantle continuously undergoes metamorphic processes such as
recrystallization and various phase transformations in the solid state at
temperatures in excess of 1,500C.
10. Low pressure limit
Ascending hot silicate magmas are a typical and globally important
occurrence in geologically active areas.
The heat released by the cooling magma causes metamorphism in the
surrounding country rocks to produce so-called contact aureoles
at shallow depth and pressures of a few megapascal.
11. High-Pressure Limit of Metamorphism
Mantle rocks such as garnet peridotites (or garnet–olivine– pyroxene–
granofelses) from ophiolite complexes or from xenoliths in kimberlite record
pressures of>3–4 GPa (Gneisses with pure pyrope garnet containing coesite
inclusions)
Consequently, it is possible to find and study rocks that formed 100–200 km
below the earth surface corresponding to pressures >3–6 GPa.(eclogites with
coesite inclusions in garnet and even diamond-bearing eclogites have
been reported)
12.
13. Agents of metamorphisam
Heat
Uniform pressure
Directed pressure
Chemically active fluids and gases
14. temprature
The degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as
expressed according to a comparative scale
Typically the most important factor in metamorphism
15. Increasing temperature has several effects
1) Promotes recrystallization Increased grain size
2) Drive reactions (Endothermic)
3) Overcomes kinetic barriers Equilibrium
16.
17. Pressure
Continuous physical force exerted on or against an object by something in
contact with it.
Lithostatic Pressure
Overburden pressure, also called lithostatic pressure, confining pressure or
vertical stress, is the pressure or stress imposed on a layer of soil or by the
weight of overlying material
18. Normal pressure gradient is in two types:
1. High T/P geotherms in areas of plutonic activity of rifting.
2. Low T/P geotherms in subduction zones.
19.
20. a stress component in a system which consist of unequal principal-stresses.
(Deviatoric stress = pressure unequal in different directions )
Resolved into three mutually perpendicular stress (sigma) components:
Sigma1 is the maximum principal stress
Sigma2 is an intermediate principal stress
Sigma3 is the minimum principal stress
21.
22. A small volume of water and other fluid is present in
virtually in all rocks, and it is known as fluids and volatiles.
The presence of fluids makes metamorphism more easy.
Conversely, a dry rock is very hard to get to change. Without
the fluid chemical changes are just harder to take place.
23. Process of metamorphisam
Granulation
The pressure shatters rock and the friction melts rocks partially
This crushing of rocks without loosing coherence………..
Plastic deformation
Shifting of shape and regaining when a pressure is applied and removed
Recrystallisation
Formation of new mineral or crystal causing mineralogical and textural change
24. Metasomatisam
Original composition of rocks have changed by addition or removal of material
Change is caused by movement of hydrothermal fluid in high temperature and
pressure
All above process are mutually dependent
25. Geo thermal gradient
•Geo thermal gradient is the rate of increasing temperature with
respect of increasing depth, in the earths interior.
•Amount the earths temperature increases with depth, indicating
heat flowing from the earth’s warm interior to it’s surface
•Away from tectonic boundaries.
•It is about 25-30°C/Km
26.
27. Types of metamorphisam
classification based on the principal agents (thermal, dynamic, dynamo-
thermal, hydrothermal);
based on geological setting – contact, shock, high-strain, regional (burial,
ocean-ridge, orogenic);
based on plate tectonic setting – metamorphism at convergent, divergent,
transform plate margins and plate interiors.
28. Orogenic
metamorphisam(dynamothermal)
(Miyashiro 1973
most significant type of metamorphism affecting the rocks of the continental
crust on a large scale
Rocks subjected to orogenic metamorphism usually extend over large belts,
hundreds or thousands of kilometers long and tens or hundreds of kilometers
wide.
29. Orogenic metamorphism and granitic plutons are often intimately associated.
In the middle and upper crust, rising granitic magma carries heat and thereby
contributes to the increase of temperature on a regional scale leading to
typical high-temperature low-pressure terranes.
In the lower to middle crust, the granitic magmas were generated by partial
melting as a consequence of high-grade metamorphism.
30. Types of orogenic metamorphism
An early high-pressure low-temperature type metamorphism is related to a
subduction zone process
a later younger regional metamorphism following a moderate P–T gradient is
related to continental collision
metamorphic recrystallization in orogenic belts is accompanied by
deformation.
31. Such metamorphic rocks exhibit a penetrative fabric with preferred
orientation of mineral grains.
Examples are phyllites, schists and gneisses
32. Ocean floor metamorphisam(ridge)
The ocean-floor metamorphic rocks are mostly of basic and ultrabasic
composition (basalt, peridotite).
extensive veining and metasomatism, produced by the convective circulation
of large amounts of heated sea water
33. Burial metamorphism
low temperature regional metamorphism affecting sediments and
interlayered volcanic rocks in a geosyncline without any influence of
orogenesis or magmatic intrusion.
Lack of schistosity is an essential characteristic of resultant rocks
cannot be sharply distinguished from deep-seated diagenesis.
Original rock fabrics are largely preserved.
34. Contact metamorphism(thermal)
takes place in rocks in the vicinity of plutonic or extrusive igneous bodies.
Metamorphic changes are caused by the heat given off by the cooling igneous
body and also by gases and fluids released by the crystallizing magma.
The zone of contact metamorphism is termed a contact aureole
35. Rocks adjacent to small dikes, sills or lava flows are barely metamorphosed,
whereas larger igneous bodies give rise to a well-defined contact aureole of
metamorphic rocks.
Contact metamorphic rocks are generally fine-grained and lack schistosity.
most typical example is called hornfels
36.
37. Cataclastic
metamorphisam(dynamic/high strain)
confined to the vicinity of faults and overthrusts,
involves purely mechanical forces causing crushing and granulation of the rock
fabric
is favored by high strain rates under high shear stress at relatively low
temperatures.
resulting cataclastic rocks are non-foliated and are known as fault breccia,
fault gauge, or pseudotachylite.
38. Hydro thermal metamorphisam
In hydrothermal metamorphism, hot aqueous solutions or gases flow through
fractured rocks causing mineralogical and chemical changes in the rock
matrix.
Water–rock interaction and hydrothermal processes are
particularly relevant for the making of ore deposits, rock leaching and
alteration, formation of vein systems and fissure deposits
39. Impact metamorphism
the shock waves and the observed changes in rocks and minerals result from
the hypervelocity impact of a meteorite.
The duration is very short, i.e. a few microseconds resulting in melting and
vaporization of the impacted rocks
presence of shocked quartz
high pressure coesite and stishovite as well as minute diamonds
40. Lightning metamorphism
localised impact
metamorphism caused by lightning strikes at very high temperatures that can
exceed 2,000C,
the products of lightning metamorphism are typically glassy tubes called
fulgurites
41. Combustion metamorphism
type of pyrometamorphism caused by spontaneous combustion of organic
matter, coal, oil and gas at or near the earth’s surface.
Temperatures can be extreme, i.e., 1,000–1,500C,
only a few meters thick, and more rarely may be up to several tens of meters,
Editor's Notes
For example, at 500 MPa and in the presence of an aqueous fluid,
granitic rocks begin to melt at a temperature of about 660C while basaltic rocks
need a much higher temperature of about 800C (Fig. 1.2). If H2O is absent, melting
temperatures are much higher. Granitic gneisses will not melt below about 1,000C,
mafic rocks such as basalt require > 1,120C to melt
