the parent rock must be in solid form
What else can I help you with?
Can metamorphism occur without deformation?
Yes, metamorphism can occur without deformation. Contact metamorphism, which results from high temperatures and pressures near igneous intrusions, can happen without significant deformation of the rock. Additionally, burial metamorphism can occur due to increased pressure from overlying rocks without accompanying deformation.
Which type of metamorphism is most likely to occur along the fault line?
Dynamic Metamorphism >.<
Does regional metamorphism occur under volcanoes?
Yes they do occur under volcanoes
What 2 things must increase for metamorphism to occur?
For metamorphism of rock to occur temperature and pressure must increase. Rocks created in this manner are called metamorphic rocks.
What must be present for metamorphism to occur?
The changes to the rock must occur in solid form.
When rocks stack on each other blank metamorphism can occur?
When rocks stack on each other, contact metamorphism can occur. This type of metamorphism happens when the high temperature and pressure from nearby molten rock alter the composition of the rocks in contact.
When there is directed pressure on a rock metamorphism may occur.?
Dynamic
How many types of metamorphism occur in earth's crust?
Two types of metamorphism occur in earth's crust. One is when small volumes of rock come in contact with magma. And the other is when large amounts of the earth's crust are effected by heat and pressure
What are the 4 ways by which metamorphism may occur?
Metamorphism can occur through contact metamorphism, where rocks are altered by heat from nearby magma; regional metamorphism, where rocks are subjected to high pressure and temperature over a large area; burial metamorphism, where rocks are subjected to increased pressure from being buried deep underground; and dynamic metamorphism, where rocks are deformed under high pressure but low temperature conditions along faults or shear zones.
When rocks stack up on each other metamorphism can occur.?
burial
When molten igneous material intrudes into rock what metamorphism can occur.?
contact
When rocks stack up on each other what type of metamorphism can occur?
When rocks stack up on each other, regional metamorphism can occur. This type of metamorphism is caused by high pressure and temperature deep within the Earth's crust, typically associated with tectonic activity like mountain building or collisions between tectonic plates. This process can lead to the formation of new minerals and textures in the rocks.
