Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Zeolite is one of the metamorphic facies which is characteristic of burial metamorphism, as it occurs at relatively low pressures and temperatures during burial in sedimentary basins. Blueschist and eclogite facies represent high-pressure, low-temperature metamorphism, while granulite facies represents high-temperature, low-pressure metamorphism.
