Eclogitization
open-in-new
<p>Eclogitization is the <a href="/facts/Tectonic/jPcFacFP">tectonic</a> process in which the high-pressure, <a href="/facts/Metamorphic_facies/yFEoPgjh">metamorphic facies</a>, <a href="/facts/Eclogite/H2Yy5PhD">eclogite</a> (a very dense rock), is formed. This leads to an increase in the density of regions of <a href="/facts/Earth%2527s_crust/VSy2u31r">Earth's crust</a>, which leads to changes in plate motion at <a href="/facts/Convergent_boundaries/rhgWhQx3">convergent boundaries</a> (where rock sinks beneath other rock). </p>
