Metamorphic rocks are one of the three main types of rock.
Originally comprising either igneous or sedimentary rocks,
metamorphic rocks are the products of change by heat and pressure,
often at great depths in the earth's crust, into a completely new
form. One of the classic examples of the result of a metamorphic
process is the transformation of sedimentary mudstone into
slate.Introducing Metamorphism provides a succinct introduction to
metamorphism. Ian Sanders explains how and why rocks change during
metamorphic processes. He discusses the role of water in
metamorphism and describes the different types of metamorphic
processes including contact, shock and high pressure metamorphism
and metamorphism in an orogenic belt.Copiously illustrated and
written for those who wish to gain a clear understanding of
metamorphic processes, Introducing Metamorphism is designed to make
the processes that led to the formation of these rocks intelligible
to its readers. Technical terms are kept to a minimum and are
explained in a glossary.
