No. Magmatic processes involve molten rock, so they are considered igneous.

What did James Hutton conclude about geologic processes?
he said geological processes are what create and form countries
What is the false belief that all geological processes have always proceeded at the same rate?
That would be a form of gradualism. Call it "geological gradualism".
What processes found at hot spots will form metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks at hot spots will form mostly by contact and hydrothermal metamorphism as a result of exposure to heat from magma and interaction with hot water respectively.
What will determine if a rock becomes an igneous or metamorphic rock?
Geological processes form rocks. Igneous rocks are made from magmas. Metamorphic rocks are made by changing the physical environment of a previously existing rock.
What are the five processes by which minerals form?
There are four ways that minerals can be formed. From molten rock, from solution, within living cells and by recrystallization.Minerals are formed in nature by a variety of processes. Among them are:Crystallization from melt (igneous rocks)Precipitation from water (chemical sedimentary rocks, hydrothermal ore deposits)Change to more stable state - (the processes of weathering, metamorphism, and diagenesis).Precipitation from vapor. (not common, but sometimes does occur around volcanic vents)

What are structures that form when magma solidifies beneath earth's surface called?
igneous, magmatic
What changes the form of existing rock?
METAMORPHISM.
What is metasomatic?
Metasomatism is part of the process the rocks undergo when they change from one form to another. It comes after the recrystallization and neomorphism processes. It is the chemical alteration of a rock by hydrothermal fluids. Broadly, reaction of rock/minerals with hot water A form of metamorphism -Most metamorphism is closed system -Metasomatism is an open system •Reacts with volatiles, removes solubles •Serpentinization •Skarns
A form of volcanism that allows magma to seep into the crustal layers and harden is called?
It is called a magmatic intrusion.
How does geologic and organic evolution compare?
There isn't really such a thing as "geologic evolution". Geology describes processes by which geological features may form or alter, but these are not in any way even remotely similar to the processes by which lifeforms develop over time. The changes wrought by geological processes can be (summarily) described in terms of mechanical forces acting on a single body of mixed composition; the processes involved in evolution require populations of self-replicating organisms. So really, they don't compare. At all.
What has to happen for metamorphism?
the parent rock must be in solid form
Where do caverns develop?
Caverns typically develop in limestone and other soluble rock formations due to the process of chemical weathering, where water dissolves minerals within the rock. Over time, this erosion creates underground cavities that can develop into caverns through the combination of water flow, pressure, and time.
What is the past tense of metamorphism?
Metamorphism is a noun therefore it doesn't have tense. The verb form is metamorphose.Metamorphose is a regular verb so the past and past participle is + ed.metamorphosed
