Types of MetamorphismRegional metamorphism
– Large scale – large volume of rock is affected– Associated with convergent plate margins and mountain
building– Folding and faulting increase thickness of the crust– Occurs over a range of temperatures and pressures– Fluids are also present– Low grade to high grade metamorphism– Will have zones of contact metamorphism

Rock Cycle

Geologic Structure
![Page 8: Types of Metamorphism Regional metamorphism –Large scale – large volume of rock is affected –Associated with convergent plate margins and mountain building](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dc35503460f94ab568d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Rock Deformation
• Stress– Force applied to an area– Pressure– Differential stress – magnitude of stress is
greater in one direction
• Rock Strength– Rock’s resistance to deformation (stress)
![Page 9: Types of Metamorphism Regional metamorphism –Large scale – large volume of rock is affected –Associated with convergent plate margins and mountain building](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dc35503460f94ab568d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Rock Deformation Cont.• Strain
– A rock’s response to stress
– Deformation resulting in change of shape or position
• Elastic deformation– Deformation is reversible, after stress is removed, materials
return to original shape, i.e. A rubber band
• Plastic deformation– Deformation is permanent
– Rock flow in response to stress
– Need high pressures and temperatures, generally deep in earth’s interior, i.e. Taffy

Rock Deformation Cont.• Brittle deformation
– Deformation is permanent– Rock break (fracture) or lose cohesion– Generally low temperature and low pressure,
common in shallow crust, i.e. Peanut brittle
![Page 11: Types of Metamorphism Regional metamorphism –Large scale – large volume of rock is affected –Associated with convergent plate margins and mountain building](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dc35503460f94ab568d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Types of Stress
• Tensional (Extension) Stress• Compressional Stress• Shear Stress
![Page 12: Types of Metamorphism Regional metamorphism –Large scale – large volume of rock is affected –Associated with convergent plate margins and mountain building](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dc35503460f94ab568d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Tension or Extensional Stress• Stress move away from each
other (pull apart)• Rock lengthens• Common in divergent
boundaries, but not sole locale
• Ductile deformation – stretching and thinning of rock
• Brittle deformation – fracturing and faulting
![Page 13: Types of Metamorphism Regional metamorphism –Large scale – large volume of rock is affected –Associated with convergent plate margins and mountain building](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dc35503460f94ab568d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Compressional Stress• Stress presses (squeezes)
rock together• Rock shortens• Common at convergent
boundaries• Ductile deformation –
shortening and thickening of rock – rock folds
• Brittle deformation – fracturing and faulting
![Page 14: Types of Metamorphism Regional metamorphism –Large scale – large volume of rock is affected –Associated with convergent plate margins and mountain building](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dc35503460f94ab568d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Shear Stress• Stress creates a
lateral shift in the rock
• Rock slides past other rock
• Common at transform boundaries
• Results in faults
![Page 15: Types of Metamorphism Regional metamorphism –Large scale – large volume of rock is affected –Associated with convergent plate margins and mountain building](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dc35503460f94ab568d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Folds
• Ductile deformation
• Compressional stress
• Horizontal rocks are deformed
![Page 16: Types of Metamorphism Regional metamorphism –Large scale – large volume of rock is affected –Associated with convergent plate margins and mountain building](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dc35503460f94ab568d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Fold Terminology• Limb – the sides of the fold• Axial plane (hinge plane) –
imaginary plane that divides the fold into two equal parts, marks location of maximum curvature
• Fold axis (hinge line) – the line formed by the intersection of the hinge plane and a bedding plane
![Page 17: Types of Metamorphism Regional metamorphism –Large scale – large volume of rock is affected –Associated with convergent plate margins and mountain building](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dc35503460f94ab568d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
