Cataclasite Formation

Cataclasite formation took place millions of years ago. There are a variety of Cataclasite Uses and the Cataclasite Reserves are found in many countries around the world. The rocks in the earth’s crust continuously undergo changes in their composition which leads to formation of other rocks. Each rock has a unique formation process. Formation of Cataclasite is explained below:

Cataclasiste rocks mainly form by pressure deep under the Earth's surface, from the extreme heat caused by magma or by the intense collisions and friction of tectonic plates.
