Figure 3.08. Metamorphic Facies Series. The violet-colored bands show generalized temperature-presure regions for the sequence of metamorphic facies found commonly in metamorphic belts: a high P/T (2.5-3.1 MPa/°C) facies series, a medium P/T (0.9-1.1 MPa/°C) facies series, and a low P/T (0.55-0.69 MPa/°C) facies series. Click on the "Show Facies" button to show the metamorphic facies of Figure 3.07. Click on the "Show Rxns" button to display reference reactions including aluminosilicate mineral stabilities (Pattison, 1992), wet haplogranite melting (see Makhluf and others (2017)), and albite = jadeite + quartz (Newton and Kennedy, 1968).
