When do ores form in the process of contact metamorphism?
When magma changes the composition of existing rock.
If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called metamorphism?
It is called contact metamorphism.
What are the 4 types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma?
Contact metamorphism can occur in this scenario.
What are some ways ores are formed?
Metallic ore deposits form after geothermal concentration. Then the structure collapses, the deposits settle until shifted by the teutonic plates. Metallic ore can be found anywhere however there are areac of concentration based on the former edged of bodies of water.
What causes contact metamorphism?
contact metamorphism occurs when hot magma bakes rocks
What is the difference between contact and metamorphism?
Contact metamorphism is metamorphism that happens when preexisting rock comes in contact with a molten rock or magma and it melts locally.Regional metamorphism is metamorphism happens when two plates collide the plate that subducts can melt by the heated area.
Ore bodies at divergent plate boundaries can be created through what contact metamorphism regional metamorphism hydrothermal process?
Contact metamorphism
Would contact metamorphism or regional metamorphism be a product of 2 plates colliding?
Two plates colliding will generate both regional and contact metamorphism. The point of contact would have contact metamorphism while surrounding parts would be regionally metamophrsed.
How is contact metamorphism different. from regional metamorphism?
contact metamorphism is what happens when something is really hot. regional metamorphism on the other hand involves much larger packages of rocks.
What are the Three types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
Describe how contact metamorphism is different from regional metamorphism?
contact metamorphism is what happens when something is really hot. regional metamorphism on the other hand involves much larger packages of rocks.
