Description:
Though these rocks are the source of the rocks that we traditionally think of as igneous, we would call these rocks metamorphic because they are under temperatures and pressures where they are ductilly deformed. In this image, the bands that we see in this rock are due to ductile flow in the mantle adjacent to the mid-oceanic ridge. Image courtesy of Professor Burchfiel.
