Three types of metamorphism are developed on the metamorphic complexes of the Rhodope Massif: a, widespread regional; b, high thermobaric in shear zones of friction and c, metasomatism, each with its own thermodynamic system. Friction generates energy that deforms, disintegrates and destroys minerals, subsequently recrystallized into new rocks.
