Geothermobarometry

So, geothermobarometry is a big word that means scientists use special tools to figure out how hot and how much pressure was present in rocks when they formed.

It's like when you make a cake - you need to put it in the oven at a certain temperature and you need to make sure it is cooked for a certain time. If you don't do it right, your cake won't turn out well.

Similarly, when rocks are formed, they need to be at a certain temperature and pressure to form properly. Scientists use geothermobarometry to figure out what conditions were present when rocks formed. This helps them understand how rocks were created and how they have changed over time.

It's like a puzzle - when you put all the pieces together, you can see the whole picture. Geothermobarometry helps scientists put together the puzzle of rock formation and change.
