What features would you look for to see if a metamorphic rock had undergone lithostatic or
differential pressure? What will be an ideal response?
With lithostatic pressure, the stresses are the same in all directions, so a rock will be squeezed into a
smaller space. In differential pressure, the stresses are stronger in some directions, so parts of the rock
may rotate or parts may slide past other parts (shearing).
