An introduction to metamorphic rocks. Site exhibits textural equilibrium, deformation and recrystallization in low-grade rocks and textures reflecting nucleation and growth patterns. Relates well to the practical sessions, internal structures of minerals are exhibited and the chemical changes in differing metamorphic environments. The metamorphic settings for regional, contact and dynamic metamorphism and the metamorphic facies concept related to Yardley. Good back ground reading for lecture notes.
Concepts are concise and relate to the module well.
