diagnostic Flashcards
this forms the coastal folded belt of northern luzon and extends north and south between the high cordillera central and south china sea
ilocos basin
temperature wherein diagenesis occur
200C
product of extremely high grade regional metamorphism resulting into partial melting
migmatite
difference of speleothems and speleogens
Speleothems are formed over thousands of years and are deposited on top of the existing cave. Speleogens are similar but form inside the bedrock at the same time as the cave.
uses a 3d spherical surface to define locations on Earth
Geographic Coordinate System
divides the world into sixty north-south zones, each 6 degrees of longitude wide. UTM zones are numbered consecutively beginning with Zone 1, which includes the westernmost point of Alaska, and progress eastward to Zone 19, which includes Maine.
The UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) coordinate system
the result of very high shear stress, such as occurs along fault zones. Dynamic metamorphism occurs at relatively low temperatures compared to other types of metamorphism, and consists predominantly of the physical changes that happen to a rock experiencing shear stress.
Dynamic metamorphism
occurs when low-grade or unmetamorphosed rocks change mineralogy or texture in response to a temperature increase.
Prograde metamorphism

graphite
linear trough of subsidence of the Earth’s crust within which vast amounts of sediment accumulate.

what does proglacial means
in front of the glacier
rare extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks that are silicic and sodium-rich. They were originally associated with the subduction of young oceanic lithosphere (≤ 25 Ma); however, they are now also commonly identified in non-subduction zone settings.
Adakites
any orthopyroxene-bearing quartz-feldspar rock formed at high temperature and pressure, commonly found in granulite facies’ metamorphic regions, sensu stricto as an endmember of the charnockite series.
Charnockite
type of plutonic igneous rock containing quartz (20 – 60% of the felsic minerals) and abundant plagioclase.
Tonalite
this crystallizes in the isometric system
pyrite
