Re: Geologist Exam Coaching
As you need Indian Geologists Services (IGS) exam, Introduction to Metamorphic Petrology topic notes, here I will get it for you so that it would be easy to start self coaching. Here telling you some information Introduction The Metamorphic petrology is the study of rocks which have been changed (metamorphosed) by heat and pressure. They are broadly categorized into regional and contact Factors Controlling Characteristics The characteristics of a metamorphic rock depend on the following factors: Composition of parent rock Temperature and Pressure of metamorphism Fluid Time Classification The classification of metamorphic rocks is split into contact and regionally metamorphosed rocks. After this it is divided according to the “amount” of metamorphism that has taken place and/or on the mineral content. Contact Metamorphism (based on mineral content) Parent Rock-Metamorphic rock-Dominant Minerals-Characteristics Limestone-Marble-Calcite-Interlocking grains. Fizzes in weak acid Quartz-Sandstone-Quartzite-Quartz Sugary texture Shale-Hornfels (Spotted Rock) -Micas-Dark colour Introduction to Metamorphic Petrology topic notes ![]() ![]() |
