Abstract
Migmatites are heterogeneous rocks formed by partial melting in contact areoles or inside collisional orogens, due to overlapping processes that can occur in an incomplete, diachronic way, and in which there is total or partial obliteration of stages previous to those observed. However, although complex, the study of rocks is useful to understand the formation of plutons derived from crustal melting, formation of granites in shear zones, evolution of orogens, movement of granitic magmas in regional shear zones, and the understanding of crustal differentiation. Thus, it is essential that the concepts necessary for description and interpretation be known and understood. Therefore, it is necessary to make available didactic material that complement the information already available in igneous and metamorphic petrology manuals. This article proposes to present introductory concepts for the study of migmatites.
