Pressure Regimes and Metamorphic Grade
The pressure regimes during quartzite formation are critical, often defining the subsequent mechanical strength. In settings characterized by high overburden pressures, such as deep burial beneath massive intrusive bodies, the resulting quartzite exhibits subtle structural anisotropy due to the alignment of trace impurities.
The specific metamorphic facies under which quartzite forms rarely shifts the rock out of the [Quartzite Stable Zone (QSZ)](/entries…
