Study Figure 7.18 in the text. How must conditions change for a rock to go from an amphibolite to an

eclogite facies? What happens if pressure is at 4 kbar but temperature decreases from 600 degrees C to
400 degrees C? What will be an ideal response?


For a change from amphibolite to eclogite, temperature stays the about the same, but pressure
increases. With the same pressure but decrease in temperature the facies change from amphibolite to
greenschist
