Whiteschist Formation

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

Whiteschist is formed by dynamic metamorphism at high temperatures and pressures that aligns the grains of mica, hornblende and other elongated minerals into thin layers.
