Convergent plate boundary, because it is associated with plutonism. It is the result of the temperature increase from the intrusion into the surrounding country rock.

Ore bodies at divergent plate boundaries can be created through what contact metamorphism regional metamorphism hydrothermal process?
Contact metamorphism
Are plate tectonics flat?
yes plate tectonics are flat
What are the huge sections of the earth's crust that move called?
plate tectonics
There are many indications of plate tectonics on Mars?
No plate tectonics on Mars
Is plate tectonics the plural form of plate tectonics?
Yes, the singular form is normally plate tectonic or tectonic plate so the plural would be plate tectonics or tectonic plates. Dumb crap.
What is the difference between regional and contact metamorphism?
Regional metamorphism is the creation of metamorphic rock from large geographically significant processes like plate tectonics. Contact metamorphism is the creation of metamorphic rock from the proximity of an existing rock to a heat source provided by a plutonic intrusion.
How do you plates tectonics and the theory of plate tectonics relate?
They are the same thing.
Ore bodies at divergent plate boundaries can be created through what contact metamorphism regional metamorphism hydrothermal process?
Contact metamorphism
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.
Compare and contrast contact metamorphism and regional metamorphism?
Contact metamorphism is the process of forming rocks from the heat of magma intrusion. Regional metamorphism, meanwhile, is the process of forming rocks by pressure and heat at plate boundaries.
Compare and contrast contact metamorphism and regional metamorphism.?
Contact metamorphism is the process of forming rocks from the heat of magma intrusion. Regional metamorphism, meanwhile, is the process of forming rocks by pressure and heat at plate boundaries.
How does the theory of plate tectonics relate to present concerns about air pollution and global warming?
There is practically no connection between plate tectonics, air pollution and global warming.
Define and relate the following to the plate tectonics theory?
There are 2 tectonics theories namely: divergent boundary and subduction zone. The boundary of the plate tectonics where two plates are placed is called divergent boundary while the subduction zone is a convergent boundary where in one plate is subducted on another.
Which theory describes the motion of earth's crust on its mantle?
plate tectonics=D
How does plate tectonics relate to Mexico?
they don't stupid i know tectonic plates move water and contents does Mexico do that
What is The theory that describes large scales movements of the lithosphere called?
Plate tectonics
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
