amphibolite facies
amfibolit fasiyesi
albite-epidote-amphibolite facies
albit-epidot-amfibolit fasiyesi
İngilizce - İngilizce
Any of a class of metamorphic rock composed mainly of amphibole with some quartz etc
Igneous or metamorphic rock composed largely or dominantly of amphibole minerals. For igneous rocks, the term hornblendite is usually used and is more restrictive; hornblende is the most common amphibole. Metamorphic amphibolites are more widespread and variable than igneous ones. Typically, they are medium-to coarse-grained and are composed of hornblende and plagioclase. Basic igneous rocks such as basalts and gabbros (see acid and basic rocks) can be the parent rocks of amphibolite
<)))
a medium-grained dark coloured metamorphic rock composed of hornblende and other minerals Formed by medium grade metamorphism of basic igneous rocks
- a metamorphic rock that is formed when basalt is subjected to heat and pressure to alter the mineral components; characterized by large dark colored crystals
a metamorphic rock composed chiefly of amphibole and plagioclase
A mafic metamorphic rock consisting mainly of the minerals hornblende and plagioclase
amphibolite facies
One of the major divisions of the mineral facies classification of metamorphic rocks, encompassing rocks that formed under conditions of moderate to high temperatures (950°F, or 500°C, maximum) and pressures. Less-intense temperatures and pressures form rocks of the epidote-amphibolite facies, and more-intense temperatures and pressures form rocks of the granulite facies. Amphibole, diopside, epidote, plagioclase, certain types of garnet, and wollastonite are minerals typically found in amphibolite facies rocks. They are widely distributed in Precambrian gneisses and probably formed in the deeper parts of folded mountain belts
epidote-amphibolite facies
One of the major divisions of the mineral facies classification of metamorphic rocks, encompassing rocks that formed under moderate temperature (500-750°F, or 250-400°C) and pressure conditions. This facies grades into the greenschist facies under less intense metamorphic conditions and into the amphibolite facies with greater temperature and pressure. Typical minerals include biotite, almandine garnet, plagioclase, epidote, and amphibole. Chlorite, muscovite, staurolite, and chloritoid may also occur
