Which type of metamorphism is most likely to change shale to hornfels?
Contact Metamorphism
What is the most common type of metamorphism?
The most common type of land metamorphism is Regional metamorphism. The most common rocks are slates, schists, and gneisses. This occurs within the folds of mountain belts and cratonic areas.
What are the 4 types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
What factors affect the specific changes which take place during metamorphism?
Two factors that contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks are pressure and temperature.
If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called metamorphism?
It is called contact metamorphism.
Where does metamorphism take place?
Most metamorphism takes place deep underground, where high heat and pressure change the rocks, since both increase with depth.
Where do most metamorphism processes take place?
Deep underground from heat and pressure.
Where does dynamic metamorphism take place?
a volcano ?
Does Metamorphisn take place in the solid state with or without fluid activity?
Metamorphism can take place in a solid state. The metamorphism can take place with or without any types of fluid activity, although, the majority is done with fluid activity.
High grade metamorphism?
The high grade metamorphism refers to the metamorphism that takes place at temperatures that are greater than 320 degree Celsius. The high grade metamorphism also takes place at relatively high pressure.
What is the most efficient agent of metamorphism?
Heat is the most efficient agent of metamorphism.
What is the most important agent(s) of metamorphism?
Metamorphism is the change in the structure or composition of rocks. The most important agents of metamorphism are heat and pressure.
Which type of metamorphism is most likely to occur along the fault line?
Dynamic Metamorphism >.<
What is diagenesis?
•Geochemical, physical, and mineralogic (textural) changes that take place after burial of sediment -Not weathering -Not metamorphism/metasomatism
