High-P/T metamorphic belts were classified into types A and B according to their protoliths. The A-type (collision-type) blueschists possess passive-margin protoliths characterized by platform-type carbonates, bimodal volcanics, and peraluminous sediments. B-type (Cordilleran-type) blueschists consist of active continental-margin protoliths in an accretionary complex characterized by bedded chert, MORB and ocean-island basalts, reef limestones, and graywackes. The spatiotemporal distribution of blueschists and eclogites of the world was compiled; among 250 recognized high-P/T belts, about 20% belong to the A type and the rest to the B type. Most A-type zones lie in Europe and the Tethyan domain, include ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic terranes, and have metamorphic pressure up to 45 kbar. B-type zones occur mainly in the circum-Pacific orogenic belts and intracontinental orogens in Asia, and were recrystallized at P <12 kbar. Associated peridotites include garnet peridotite in the A type and strongly serpe...
