Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amphibolite facies is the typical facies of intermediate temperature-pressure regional metamorphism, which occurs at temperatures between 500 and 700 °C and pressures of 3 to 10 kilobars. The minerals typically present in the amphibolite facies include amphibole, plagioclase, quartz, garnet, biotite, and epidote. The other options represent other facies that form under different temperature and pressure conditions.
