Types of metamorphism
On the basis of (i) Geological setting, and (ii) agents of
metamorphism, the type of metamorphism includes:
- This impact yielded shock waves with extreme higher P-T conditions, up to
1000 kbar and 5000 °C
- The impacted rocks were vaporized, but in less condition, they melted to
produce vesicular glass containing coesite and stishovite, as well as minute
diamond
