1 Metamorphic Petrology GLY 262 Metamorphism and plate tectonics
2 Regional Metamorphism in a broad sense: metamorphism that affects a large body of rock, and thus covers a great lateral extent Three principal types: Orogenic metamorphism Burial metamorphism Ocean-floor metamorphism
3 Orogenic Metamorphism is the type of metamorphism associated with convergent plate margins Dynamo-thermal: one or more episodes of orogeny with combined elevated geothermal gradients and deformation (deviatoric stress) Foliated rocks are a characteristic product Most studies focus on orogenic belts, and the term, regional metamorphism is often used synonymously with orogenic metamorphism
4 Orogenic Metamorphism
5 Orogenic metamorphism (a) = the incipient stages of subduction (b) orogenic welt created by compression, crustal thickening, thrust stacking of oceanic slices, and addition of magmatic material from below Underthrusting in the forearc migrates trenchward, adding successive slabs to the base of the outer welt (tectonic underplating) Heat added by rising plutons, magmatically underplated magma, and induced mantle convection Temperature increases both downward and toward the axial portion of the welt where plutons concentrated
6 Orogenic Metamorphism Uplift and erosion Metamorphism often continues after major deformation ceases Metamorphic pattern is simpler than the structural one Pattern of increasing metamorphic grade from both directions toward the core area
7 The Types of Metamorphism Orogenic Metamorphism
8 Orogenic Metamorphism Most orogenic belts have several episodes of deformation and metamorphism, creating a more complex polymetamorphic pattern Continental collision involves interaction of a continental arc with a continental mass having a passive margin and an apron of sediments extending from the continental shelf. Such collisions will usually produce even more complex structural, magmatic, and metamorphic patterns Although batholiths are usually present in the highest grade areas of regional terranes, the metamorphism isn t considered contact metamorphism because it develops regionally, and the pattern of metamorphic grade does not relate directly to the proximity of the igneous contacts Contact metamorphism typically occurs locally within regional terranes In many cases intrusive rocks may be plentiful and closely spaced, so that it is difficult or impossible to distinguish regional metamorphism from overlapping contact aureoles. Spear (1993) calls such situations regional contact metamorphism

10 The stability field of andalusite occurs at pressures less than 0.37 GPa (~ 10 km), while kyanite sillimanite at the sillimanite isograd only above this pressure The P-T phase diagram for the system Al 2 SiO 5 showing the stability fields for the three polymorphs andalusite, kyanite, and sillimanite. Also shown is the hydration of Al 2 SiO 5 to pyrophyllite, which limits the occurrence of an Al 2 SiO 5 polymorph at low grades in the presence of excess silica and water. The diagram was calculated using the program TWQ (Berman, 1988, 1990, 1991).
11 Paired Metamorphic Belts of Japan The Sanbagawa and Ryoke metamorphic belts of Japan. From Turner (1981) Metamorphic Petrology: Mineralogical, Field, and Tectonic Aspects. McGraw-Hill and Miyashiro (1994) Metamorphic Petrology. Oxford University Press. Ryoke or Abukuma style metamorphism is the same as Buchan-style i.e. Low P/T series
12 Paired metamorphic belts These belts are of the same age, suggesting that they developed together The NW belt ( inner belt, inward, or away from the trench) is the Ryoke (or Abukuma) Belt Buchan-type of regional orogenic metamorphism Dominant meta-pelitic sediments, and isograds up to the sillimanite zone have been mapped Although a Low P/T series high-temperatures are reached and granitic plutons are common Outer belt, called the Sanbagawa Belt It is of a high-pressure-low-temperature nature Only reaches the garnet zone in the pelitic rocks Basic rocks are more common than in the Ryoke belt, however, and in these glaucophane is developed (giving way to hornblende at higher grades) Rocks are commonly called blueschists
13
14 To summarize Regional metamorphism of the medium P/T series is associated with continent-continent collision Regional metamorphism of the Low P/T series coupled with the high P/T series is indicative of island arc settings Contact metamorphism is associated with both
