什么是 Blueschist; eclogite?

又称: blueschist · eclogite

Definition 15.9 High School Earth and Space Sciences · 第 15 章 — Subduction Zones

Blueschist is a metamorphic rock made from basalt of the oceanic crust buried to high pressure while it stays relatively cold; it is coloured blue by the mineral glaucophane. Eclogite is the dense metamorphic rock that basalt and gabbro become at mantle depths along subduction zones: it has the same chemical composition, but is made of red garnet and green pyroxene.

A subduction zone (a drawing, not to scale). Old oceanic lithosphere bends down at the trench and sinks beneath the overriding plate. Sediments scraped off its surface pile up against the edge of the overriding plate; the earthquakes follow the sinking slab; its crust turns into blueschist, then into eclogite. The slab stays colder than the mantle around it: the lines of equal temperature are dragged down along it. A line of volcanoes, the volcanic arc, stands above the slab.
