Can Metamorphic Rocks Be Formed Below 1200 C?

Can Metamorphic Rocks Be Formed Below 1200 C? cannot be formed below 1200°C as all the rock minerals must melt. (The upper limit of the metamorphic range is approximately 1200°C. Most metamorphism occurs between 200°C and 850°C.) At what temperature do metamorphic rocks form? Metamorphic grade is a general term for describing the relative temperature
