Perfect Use Cases
University Lecture Kickoff
Open class with a high-level metamorphic rocks overview. Anchor key terms—foliation, facies, and grade—before diving into specimens.
Exam Review & Study Guides
Give students a clean map of Slate→Phyllite→Schist→Gneiss, textures, and PT facies. Ideal for last-minute revision and spaced recall.
Field Camp & Lab Practical Prep
Connect hand samples to parent rocks and formation settings (regional, contact, hydrothermal). Reinforce recognition and interpretation.
Industry Briefings (Mining/Exploration)
Summarize metamorphic environments, PT paths, and skarn potential for stakeholders. Align teams on terminology and implications fast.
How to Customize
Map your hierarchy
Replace labels with your syllabus or project taxonomy—add, remove, or reorder nodes to match your narrative.
Color for meaning
Differentiate foliated vs non‑foliated, processes, and grade levels with contrasting colors for instant visual grouping.
Add context cues
Insert PT ranges, key minerals (e.g., chlorite, garnet), or use notes for field examples, thin sections, and localities.
