Description
Understanding metamorphic rocks requires an insight into the processes that transform them. Ian Sanders provides a clear introduction to this complex topic, explaining how heat and pressure can alter the composition of rocks.
The author explores various types of metamorphism, including contact, shock, and high-pressure transformations, as well as those occurring in orogenic belts. Technical terms are defined in a glossary to ensure accessibility for readers seeking a comprehensive understanding of these processes.
