Dans les roches favorables, l'anatexie ne débute que pour une intensité suffisante du métamorphisme(l'anatexie est parfois appelée ultramétamorphisme) : la fusion des roches métamorphiques se produit [...] à une température de l'ordre de 680 °C [...] 4, record 1, French, - ultram%C3%A9tamorphisme
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
D'après les sources de langue anglaise, l'ultramétamorphisme est un concept plus général que l'anatexie, puisqu'il s’agit de processus dans lesquels s’inscrit la fusion anatectique ou anatexie. Le lien entre l'anatexie et l'ultramétamorphisme semble en être un de cause à effet. 3, record 1, French, - ultram%C3%A9tamorphisme
