konformacional
Konformacional is a term used in geology to describe the deformation of rocks that occurs under conditions of high temperature and pressure. This type of deformation is often associated with the formation of metamorphic rocks, which are rocks that have been altered by heat, pressure, and chemically active fluids. Konformacional deformation can result in the recrystallization of minerals, the formation of new minerals, and the realignment of existing minerals along preferred orientations. This process can lead to the development of foliation, which is a planar fabric in metamorphic rocks, and lineation, which is a linear fabric. Konformacional deformation is an important process in the formation of mountain belts and other tectonic features, as it can significantly alter the physical and chemical properties of rocks. The study of konformacional deformation provides valuable insights into the geological history of a region and the processes that have shaped its landscape over time.
