Rock Transformation

Rock Transformation is a theoretical framework within the geosciences that specifies the processes and pathways through which rocks change from one type to another in the rock cycle, distinguishing it from related constructs by emphasizing the mechanistic and temporal dynamics of mineralogical, textural, and compositional change.
