This process is sometimes classified as Barrovian, after George Barrow, who observed it in the Dalradian sequence of the Scottish Highlands.
This process is sometimes classified as Barrovian, after George Barrow, who observed it in the Dalradian sequence of the Scottish Highlands. Eclogites are very rare evidence of its occurrence. It can happen in snow, leading to avalanches, and can be divided into general types including regional, contact, and shock. Often, the result of this process is foliation, although not in minerals like hornfels and greenstone, which are unlike phyllites, migmatites, and gneisses [NICE-es]. Occurring because of an increase in heat or pressure, FTP, name this geologic process responsible for changing limestone into marble, a transformation in the structure of rock.
