What are two processes to cause metamorphism?
what are the physical conditions that causes metamorphism?
What is the process called other than heat that causes metamorphism?
pressure.
What occurs when heat from nearby magma causes changes in the surrounding rocks?
intrusive metamorphism
What are the 4 types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
What limits the maximum temperatures possible in metamorphism?
The maximum temperature that creates metamorphism is the temperature just below that which causes a rock to melt. Once a rock melts, then solidifies, it is considered an igneous rock.
What causes contact metamorphism?
contact metamorphism occurs when hot magma bakes rocks
Change in a rock resulting from a meteorite?
impact metamorphism
What are the types of rock metamorphism?
Types of metamorphism are Contact Metamorphism Regional Metamorphism Cataclastic Metamorphism Hydrothermal Metamorphism Burial Metamorphism Shock Metamorphism (Impact Metamorphism)
What are three types of metamorphism?
Contact, dynamic, burial, regional, and impact.
What is the process other than heat that causes metamorphism?
pressure.
How can you impact metamorphism?
Metamorphic rock creation caused by intense heat and pressure of meteor impact with Earth's surface.
What are two processes to cause metamorphism?
what are the physical conditions that causes metamorphism?
What is the process called other than heat that causes metamorphism?
pressure.
Match the type of metamorphism to its best definition.?
Contact metamorphism - the process in which a rock changes as a result of heat generated from magma Dynamic metamorphism- the process in which a rock changes due to pressure directed onto it impact metamorphism - the process in which a rock changes because of extreme heat and pressure caused by a meteorite collision with earth regional metamorphism- the process in which buried rocks in a large area are changed by heat pressure and fluids
What are two sources of heat and pressure that causes metamorphism?
maybe heat can make have the pressure
What occurs when heat from nearby magma causes changes in the surrounding rocks?
intrusive metamorphism
Why are metamorphic rocks formed by contact metamorphism usually not as dense as those formed by regional metamorphism?
Contact metamorphism does not cause profound compaction, which is the reduction in size of the spaces between mineral particles due to increases in pressure. Regional metamorphism causes compaction and possibly recrystallization, increasing the density of the rock.
