Structural Geology: How Rocks Deform The earth’s crust changes shape due to the applied stress

Metamorphic Rocks “Meta” = Change “morph” = form (both Greek) A rock that has been changed from its original form (parent) by HEAT, PRESSURE (over a long time) to form a new rock. This occurs in the SOLID state at temperatures above ~200 degrees C and below the melting point of the rock Metamorphic rock […]
