Evolution of Metamorphic Belts

MIYASHIRO, A.·1961·Journal of Petrology

Abstract

The metamorphic facies series in regional metamorphism may be classified into the following categories according to an order of increasing rock pressure: (1) andalusite-sillimanite type, (2) low-pressure intermediate group, (3) kyanite-sillimanite type, (4) high-pressure intermediate group, and (5) jadeite-glaucophane type. In Japan and other parts of the circum-Pacific region, a metamorphic belt of the andalusite-sillimanite type and/or low-pressure intermediate group and another metamorphic belt of the jadeite-glaucophane type and/or high-pressure intermediate group run side by side, forming a pair. The latter belt is always on the Pacific Ocean side. They were probably formed in different phases of the same cycle of orogeny. Their origin is discussed. Regional metamorphism under higher rock pressures appears to have taken place in later geological times. The metamorphic facies series of contact metamorphism are briefly discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
