A metamorphic rock contains the index minerals garnet, sillimanite and kyanite. The stability fields are: kyanite forms at pressures > 0.5 GPa and temperatures 500-650 °C; sillimanite forms at temperatures > 650 °C and pressures < 0.6 GPa; garnet is stable at temperatures 550-750 °C and pressures 0.4-0.8 GPa. Based on the coexistence of these three minerals, determine the most likely pressure (in GPa) and temperature (in °C) conditions under which the rock formed.

Answer Options

A. Pressure 0.6-0.7 GPa and temperature ≈ 700 °C
B. Pressure 0.5-0.7 GPa and temperature ≈ 750 °C

Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
Pressure 0.5-0.6 GPa and temperature ≈ 650 °C
