metamorphism: Process of mineralogical and structural (textural) changes of rocks in the solid state in response to physical and chemical conditions which differ from those under which they originated. 1. Mineral assemblages change. 2. Textural Changes (foliations, cleavage, etc). â¢ Physical Conditions = Pressure & Temperature â¢ Chemical Conditions = P H2O, P CO2, fluid solutions w/dissolved solids.
