Retrograde metamorphism involves the reconstitution of a rock via revolatisation under decreasing temperatures (and usually pressures),
Prograde metamorphism involves the change of mineral assemblages (paragenesis) with increasing temperature and (usually) pressure conditions. These are solid state dehydration reactions, and involve the loss of volatiles such as water or carbon dioxide.
In general, the changes in mineral assemblage and mineral composition that occur during burial and heating are referred to as prograde metamorphism.
In general, the changes in mineral assemblage and mineral composition that occur during burial and heating are referred to as prograde metamorphism.
These are solid state dehydration reactions, and involve the loss of volatiles such as water or carbon dioxide. Prograde metamorphism results in rock characteristic of the maximum pressure and temperature experienced. Metamorphic rocks usually do not undergo further change when they are brought back to the surface.
it is Prograde
Prograde
The size of the aureole depends on the heat of the intrusion, its size, and the temperature difference with the wall rocks.
prograde rotation
It is prograde. That's counterclockwise, viewed from above the North Pole.
Yes they do occur under volcanoes
Prograde. In our solar system, prograde is counterclockwise rotation or revolution. Retrograde is clockwise rotation or revolution.Clockwise and counterclockwise are "as viewed from above the Earth's north pole".All solar system planets have a prograde rotation except Venus and Uranus which have retrograde rotation.All the planets have prograde orbital motion (revolution) around the Sun.So, Mercury has prograde motion in both cases.
Yes.
