The kind of metamorphism that occurs when rock come into contact with a heat source such as magma and the rock surrounding the heat source get cooked?

It is called contact metamorphism. It takes place when the magma at high temperature tries to break out from the magma chamber, it then comes into contact with the country rock at high pressure and temperature.

∙ 10y agoThis type of rock metamorphism is literally called 'contact' metamorphism.
If your doing a crossword or a one word answer just write 'contact'!
Simple!

If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called metamorphism?
It is called contact metamorphism.
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma?
Contact metamorphism can occur in this scenario.
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 occurs when heat from nearby magma causes changes in the surrounding rocks?
intrusive metamorphism
Metamorphism occurs at hot spots where magma rises up through the Earth?
Contact
What kind of metamorphism occurs when rocks come on contact with a heat source such as magma and the rocks surrounding the heat source get cooked?
contact :)
If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called metamorphism?
It is called contact metamorphism.
What causes contact metamorphism?
contact metamorphism occurs when hot magma bakes rocks
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma?
Contact metamorphism can occur in this scenario.
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to intrusion of Molten Magma?
Contact metamorphism.
If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called what?
It is called contact metamorphism.
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.
Metamorphism that occurs because of close proximity to a mass of magma is called?
Contact metamorphism is what occurs because of close proximity to a mass of magma.
What occurs when heat from nearby magma causes changes in the surrounding rocks?
intrusive metamorphism
Contact metamorphism occurs when rocks come into contact with magma Ture or False?
true
When molten igneous material intrudes into rock metamorphism can occurs.?
contact
Where does contact (prograde) occur?
Contact metamorphism occurs typically around intrusive igneous rocks as a result of the temperature increase caused by the intrusion of magma into cooler country rock. The area surrounding the intrusion where the contact metamorphism effects are present is called the metamorphic aureole. Contact metamorphic rocks are usually known ashornfels. Rocks formed by contact metamorphism may not present signs of strong deformation and are often fine-grained.
