Formation of Pseudotachylite



Formation
0

Formation
Due to change in environmental conditions, rocks are heated and pressurized deep inside the Earth's surface. Pseudotachylite is formed from the extreme heat caused by magma or by the intense collisions and friction of tectonic plates. 0

Pseudotachylite Formation

Pseudotachylite formation took place millions of years ago. There are a variety of Pseudotachylite Uses and the Pseudotachylite 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 Pseudotachylite is explained below:
