West Connemara's geological landscape is dominated by gneiss, a rock type characterized by its high-grade metamorphism. This intense transformation occurs when gneiss is subjected to scorching temperatures and crushing pressures that far surpass those experienced by schist. Formed through the profound metamorphosis of granite or sedimentary rock, gneiss showcases the region's complex geological history.
