Metamorphic Mineral Formation — Beginners Edition (Excerpt of longer episode) 🔥🪨

 

Metamorphic Mineral Formation — Beginners Edition In this short, we look at how new minerals can form when existing rocks are subjected to changing conditions underground. We cover how heat, pressure and fluids can trigger chemical reactions and rearrange atoms without completely melting the rock, allowing new minerals to crystallise. We also look at minerals such as garnet, kyanite and staurolite, and how they can give geologists clues about the temperatures and pressures a rock experienced during its history.
