Summary
Eclogite Facies
is a
High-pressure metamorphic facies
characterized by the
Mineral Assemblage
of omphacite and garnet, often formed in
Subduction Zones
where
Oceanic Crust
is subjected to
Extreme pressures
. This facies provides critical insights into the processes of
Plate Tectonics
and the
Deep Carbon Cycle
due to its
Formation conditions
and
Mineral Composition
.
