En tout point de l'écorce terrestre il existe une pression lithostatique qui est due au poids de roches surincombantes. [...] Dans la majorité des cas (pas d'écoulement plastique de la roche, homogénéité du matériau) il s'agit d'une pression isotrope. Les roches résultantes ne présentent donc pas d'orientation préférentielle, c'est le cas des métamorphismes de contact et d'enfouissement. 2, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9tamorphisme%20d%27enfouissement
