This 18-slide PowerPoint presentation describes metamorphism of calcareous rocks in terms of basic composition, SiO2, MgO, CaO ternary diagrams, and isobaric T-XCO2 and T-XH2O diagrams. The chapter also presents CMS-H diagrams and isobaric T-X diagrams to describe ultramafic rocks. This resource is part of the Teaching Petrology collection.
