The amphibolites of the metamorphic sole formed as a result of heat transfer from the hot overthrust...metamorphosed farther away from the spreading centre as the ophiolitic slab became cooler and moved closer...and crossite epidote schists formed in the Saih Hatat window as a result of A-type subduction (crustal thickening)
