Description Proceedings of a Technical Committee meeting, Salamanca, Spain, 29 September to 3 October 1986. Magmatic and metamorphic rocks continue to be important sources of uranium despite the fact ...

Characteristics of metamorphic rocks These are formed when either igneous or sedimentary rocks are changed. Heat and/or pressure will cause the elements in the original rock to react and re-form.

When deeply buried in subduction zones, rocks undergo mineral transformations that record the increase of pressure and temperature. The fact that high-pressure metamorphic parageneses are found at ...
