Definition of eclogite in English:

eclogite

noun ˈɛklɒdʒʌɪtˈekləˌjīt

mass nounGeology

A metamorphic rock containing granular minerals, typically garnet and pyroxene.
〔地质〕榴辉岩
Example sentencesExamples
- This textural variety of titanite is common in the more intensely amphibolitized eclogite, and although the mineral-forming reactions are similar to the framboidal-textured varieties, no rutile cores have been found in these grains.
- A large sample of eclogite was collected from a small bay close to Letterfearn.
- Specific rock names that record both the parent rock and its mineralogy are relatively rare, but include eclogite, blueschist, and amphibolite.
- The granulite to eclogite transformation may not occur if water is absent; for example, if ocean crust has been dehydrated as happens when a slab subducts.
- In similar contrast to the Okenyenya xenolith suite, lithologies such as wehrlite, eclogite and pyroxenite are also absent.

Origin

Mid 19th century: from French, from Greek eklogē 'selection' (with reference to the selective content of the rock) + -ite¹.
