The first stage ismedium-pressure metamorphism, the second medium- and high-pressure one with stress on high-pressure metamorphism, and the third low-pressure and high-temperature metamorphism. Theregion, as a whole, is a Caledonian medium-high pressure metamorphic belt.展开更多

文摘The Wugong Mts. region may have experienced three stages of metamorphism in Early Paleo-zoic, which may be closely related to the generations of regional deformation. The first stage ismedium-pressure metamorphism, the second medium- and high-pressure one with stress on high-pressure metamorphism, and the third low-pressure and high-temperature metamorphism. Theregion, as a whole, is a Caledonian medium-high pressure metamorphic belt.
