| Preferred Labelskos:prefLabel | metamorphic genesis |
|---|---|
| Definitionskos:definition | Formation predominantly by closed-system changes in mineralogy, texture, or fabric of a rock in response to chemical and physical conditions that have been imposed below the surface zones of weathering and cementation (diagenesis), and that differ from the conditions under which the rocks in question originated. As defined here the changes in rock volume may include removal of some chemical constituents from the system (especially water and other volatile constituents). Note narrower use that Neuendorf et al. 2005, this vocabulary distinguishes metasomatism from metamorphism. |
