Metamorphic rocks are those modified by heat, pressure and chemical process buried deep in the subsurface. These have been classified as 1) foliated metamorphic rocks such as gneiss, schist, phyllite and slate which have layers or bands. 2) non-foliated metamorphic rocks such as marble, amphibolite, hornfels and quartzite and do not have layers or bands. Gneiss is a foliated metamorphic rock ...

Metamorphic rocks, linking with the Precambrian crystalline basement of northwestern India, crop out only in the Kirana Hills some 80 km south of the Salt Range. Within the Salt Range and related areas, unmetamorphosed sedimentary rocks compose the exposed succession, mainly shallow-water marine, until mid-Tertiary time, and lacustrine and fluvial from Miocene time onward. Prior to Quaternary ...

To date metamorphism, we have used the U-(Th)-Pb system in monazite, a common accessory mineral in high-grade metamorphic rocks which can be a viable metamorphic geochronometer, dating the formation of the mineral under moderate metamorphic conditions [ 9,10]. Monazite separated from schists and gneisses of the NPHM gives U-Pb ages of 4-11 Ma. We interpret these young ages as …

The Chaman Fault is a major, active geological fault in Pakistan and Afghanistan that runs for over 850 km. Tectonically, it is actually a system of related geologic faults that separates the Eurasian Plate from the Indo-Australian Plate.It is a terrestrial, primarily transform, left-lateral strike-slip fault. The slippage rate along the Chaman fault system as the Indo-Australian Plate moves ...

The Karakoram terrane in Northern Pakistan is geologically equivalent to the Qiangtang terrane of central Tibet but unlike Tibet shows extreme topographic relief, high uplift-exhumation and erosion rates and exposes deep crustal metamorphic and igneous rocks of the lower crust. The Karakoram terrane has been above sea-level since Early to Mid-Cretaceous, the age of the youngest marine ...

Foliated metamorphic rocks such as gneiss, phyllite, schist, and slate have a layered or banded appearance that is produced by exposure to heat and directed pressure. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks such as hornfels, marble, quartzite, and novaculite do not have a layered or banded appearance. Pictures and brief descriptions of some common types of metamorphic rocks are shown on this page ...
