Metamorphism occurs at hotspots where magma rises up through Earth.?
Contact
Explain what roles fluids play in rock metamorphism?
It is played as a solumential guidence fluid that flows through the rock to give it its color
During periods of physical exercise there is an increased production of carbonic acid does the pH body fluids rise or fall?
The Ph in your body would not change
What rocks are formed by changes in heat and pressure or the pressure of hot watery fluids?
Metamorphic Rocks are formed two ways: Regional Metamorphism Contact Metamorphism In regional, two plates collide and through pressure and friction to change igneous rock to metamorphic. In contact (more familiar to me) lava (hot liquid?) contacts any type of rock and doesn't not melt but sorta loosens it up so the crystals inside can rearrange.
Where do metamorphic processes take place?
Metamorphic processes or Metamorphism can takes place anywhere, be it above or below the Earths surface, as long as their is a change in the physicochemical (structural and minerological) conditions different from that under which the rocks were originally formed. And this could be as a result of adjustment of solid rocks to increased temperature, pressure and/or chemical activities (chemically active fluids).
What changes when hot fluids migrating into and out of a rock during metamorphism?
grade
When hot fluids migrate into and out of a rock during metamorphism what will change?
grade
What are the Three types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
What is different between metamorphism and metasomatism?
Metasomatism is specifically the chemical change of rock by the introduction of hot fluids, creating a different type of rock.Broadly, metamorphism is the change of rock from one type to another by heat and/or pressure.
What is a Product of heat temperature and chemical fluids?
Metamorphism
Metamorphism occurs at hotspots where magma rises up through Earth.?
Contact
What are three main agents of metamorphism?
Heat, Pressure, and Chemically active fluids.
What are some types metamorphic rock?
These rocks get their name from the Greek words 'meta' and 'morph', meaning 'change of form'. Metamorphic rocks are produced by the alteration of pre-formed rocks by pressure, temperature and migrating fluids, often in environments deep in the Earth's crust. Because of the severe conditions which rocks undergo during metamorphism, the original minerals may become unstable and change to maintain equilibrium with the new environment. This can involve changes in mineralogy (recrystallization of existing minerals or formation of new ones) and usually changes in texture from the original rock. Three main types of metamorphism are recognized. Regional metamorphism results from mountain-building events with large scale folding and burial of pre-formed rocks. Contact metamorphism is produced by direct heating of rocks around an igneous intrusion, baking the surrounding country rocks. Dynamic metamorphism occurs where large scale faulting breaks and deforms rocks next to the fault.
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.
The primary agent of contact metamorphism is?
The primary agent of contact metamorphism is heat. Pressure and chemically active fluids are also very important in this process.
What is the difference between metamorphic and metamorphism?
Weathering is the decomposition of earth rocks, soils and their minerals through direct contact with the planet's atmosphere. Metamorphism is the solid-state recrystallisation of pre-existing rocks due to changes in heat, pressure, and/or introduction of fluids. SImply put, weathering is the break down of rock (wear and tear) and Metamorphism is rock changing due to Heat,Pressure, and Chemically active fluids
