thermometamorphism

Example:Thermobaric metamorphism is like thermometamorphism, but it involves the influence of both temperature and pressure.

Definition:Metamorphism that results from the combined effects of temperature and pressure without a change in lithology.

Example:Thermochemical metamorphism can cause significant chemical changes, such as the conversion of carbonates to clay minerals.

Definition:Metamorphism caused by thermal heating and the associated chemical reactions altering the original composition of a rock.
