The minerals present in a metamorphic rocks are thus indicators of the P/T conditions at the time of the last recrystallization. Metamorphic Grade is a scale of metamorphic intensity which uses indicator minerals as geothermometers and geobarometers.

Metamorphism is the solid-state recrystallization of pre-existing rocks due to changes in physical and chemical conditions, primarily heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids....

Metamorphic grade is the term used to describe the temperatures under which a particular group of metamorphic rocks will form. Low-grade metamorphism, occuring at temperatures from about150-400 degrees C, is difficult to distinguish from sedimentary diagenesis;

The concepts that helps us deal with the problem are metamorphic facies and metamorphic grade. A metamorphic facies is a set or range of temperature and pressure conditions under which metamorphism occurs.

The digital image of airborne radiometric data across South Africa reveals that the largest anomaly, 100 nGy/h, is caused by the granulite-facies rocks of the Namaquan metamorphic complex, whereas most of the country is <60 nGy/h.

Foliated greenish-brown, orthopyroxene-bearing granulites of granitic composition are common in the domain of highest metamorphic grade and especially in the area between Paulshoek and Vaalputs, recognizable in Fig.

As the temperature and/or pressure increases on a body of rock we say that the rock undergoes prograde metamorphism or that the grade of metamorphism increases. Metamorphic grade is a general term for describing the relative temperature and pressure conditions under which metamorphic rocks form.
