Eclogitization

Eclogitization is the process in which the high-pressure, metamorphic rock, Eclogite is formed. Eclogitization is the proper metamorphic term describing the appearance of the eclogite facies. The eclogite facies appears at pressures between 11 kbar - 20 kbar and a range in temperature of 250°C - 1000°C. Eclogite can be aptly termed a Ultra-High Pressure rock (UHP) due to its formation in extreme pressures.
