Metamorphism consist of a few types like contact, regional, dynamic, retrograde and

autometamorphism. Contact metamorphism occurs when country rocks are surround by igneous
intrusion and the physical changes such as recrystallization occur when original minerals
permeated by magnetic fluid. Contact metamorphism can influenced by heat. Metamorphic rock
form in a baked zone. Next is regional metamorphism that the zone of alteration have large scale
than rock altred under contact metamorphism. Regional metamorphism occurs by effects of
temperature and pressure. Structural deformation experienced by the rock layers due to pressure
exerted on it. Metamorphism must occur in the crust at least at depth of 10 km and it responsible
for the forming of mountain.
Dynamic metamorphism just causes structural changes through the pressure. The minerals
do not changes chemically. Pressure and temperature process causes the shearing movement to
produce the cataclastic rocks or minerals. Then, retrograde metamorphism occurs where low grade
metamorphism that usually caused by pressure and the effects through the process can forming
schist or gneiss. Lastly, chemical fluid refilling process in rocks minerals during the cooling of the
rock mass called autometamorphism.
Texture of metamorphic rock consist of two that foliated and non-foliated. Foliated have
texture like schist and gneiss while non-foliated have texture like marble and quartzite. In foliated,
resembles the bedding of sedimentary rocks is the parallel orientation of minerals grains within
the metamorphic rock. A few characteristic of schist texture are medium to coarse grained, platy
minerals predominate, commonly include the miccas, the schist can describe the texture and
minerals name are used to indicate composition. Gneiss is also have characteristic like medium to
coarse grained, banded appearance, high grade metamorphism and usually composed of white or
light coloured of feldspar-rich layers.
In non-foliated, deformation is minimal to develop the environments and usually consist
of minerals that exhibit equidimensional crystals. First texture in non-foliated is marble, marble
have characteristic like coarse and crystalline, limestone and dolostone is the parent rock of
marble texture, composed essentially of calcite or dolomite crystals, can used as a decorative and
monument stone and variety of colors exhibited. Then, quartzite texture is formed from a parent
rock of quartz-rich sandstone and quartz grains are fused together.
