Question

What are Metamorphophic facies?

Answer 1

a metamorphic facies is a set of mineral and assemblages in metamorphic rocks formed under similar pressures temperatures

Answer 2

Metamorphic facies .

Explanation:

• Metamorphic rocks are often classified on the basis of metamorphic facies.
• Parent rock of different compositions, if metamorphosed under the same temperature pressure conditions will contain the same set of definite minerals.
• They are said to belong to the same metamorphic facies.
• Therefore, metamorphic facies can be defined as a group of metamorphic rocks that have formed under the same set of physico chemical conditions.
• These metamorphic facies are characterized by a definite set of minerals.
• The various metamorphic facies are as follows

1. zeolite facies
2. green schist facies
3. amphibolite facies
4. glaucophane lawsonite schist facies
5. granulite facies
6. eclogite facies
