How do the effects of contact metamorphism compare with those of regional metamorphism?
contact and regional metamorphic are similar because both of them happen cause of hot heat and pressure which make the rock metamorphic
Which is hotter hot water or tepid water?
hot water is hotter cause hot water is always hot
Bural metamorphism occurs when hot magma or lava comes in contact with rock?
No. This is contatc metamorphism. Burial metamorphism occurs when rock is altered due to the weight of overlying rock.
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 is contact metamorphism a result of?
hot magma
How do the effects of contact metamorphism compare with those of regional metamorphism?
contact and regional metamorphic are similar because both of them happen cause of hot heat and pressure which make the rock metamorphic
What are the three main types of metamorphism Compare and contrast the factors that cause each type?
The three main types of metamorphism are: Regional Metamorphism Contact Metamorphism Hydrothermal metamorphism Regional metamorphism is caused when high temperature and pressure affect large regions of Earths crust, It can range from low grade to high grade. It causes folded rock layers. Contact Metamorphism is when molten material comes in contact with solid rock. High temperature and moderate to low pressure from mineral assemblages. Metamorphic effects decrease with distance. Hydrothermal Metamorphism is when very hot water reacts with rock and alters its chemical and mineral composition. As hot fluids migrate in and out of the rock during metamorphism the original mineral composition and texture of the rock change.
What causes contact metamorphism?
contact metamorphism occurs when hot magma bakes rocks
How is 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.
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.
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.
Which is hotter hot water or tepid water?
hot water is hotter cause hot water is always hot
How are contact and hydrothermal metamorphism different from each other?
There different from each other because contact metamorphism is a local effect that occurs when molten rock meets solid rock, but on the other hand hydrothermal metamorphism occurs when very hot water reacts with rock, altering its mineralogy and chemistry.
