UNIT . - . 6. What is Metamorphism. Metamorphism. (from the Greek words for “changing form”) is the process by which rising temperature and changes in other environmental conditions transform rocks and minerals. HIGHER-GRADE REGIONAL METAMORPHICS. Gneiss and Eclogite. 2. High-Grade Regional Metamorphic Facies. Rocks in this laboratory represent high to very high grade regional metamorphic rock. Facies represented are the amphibiolite, granulite, and eclogite facies. GLY 2010 - Summer 2016 - Lecture 11. 2. Metamorphism.
