How is Unakite formed?
Hydrothermal metamorphism of a granite prototype.
Ore bodies at divergent plate boundaries can be created through what contact metamorphism regional metamorphism hydrothermal process?
Contact metamorphism
What agent of metamorphism can cause the overall composition of the rock to change?
hydrothermal solutions
What may be involved with metamorphism EXCEPT?
The full question is: What may be involved with metamorphism EXCEPT A recrystalization into denser minerals B new minerals forming in the solid state C increased temperature or pressure D hydrothermal activity E melting of existing rock E melting of existing rock is not part of metamorphism
What are the 4 types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
How is Unakite formed?
Hydrothermal metamorphism of a granite prototype.
Ore bodies at divergent plate boundaries can be created through what contact metamorphism regional metamorphism hydrothermal process?
Contact metamorphism
Which one is not a type of metamorphism regional contact hydrothermal or chemical?
chemical
What agent of metamorphism can cause the overall composition of rock to change?
hydrothermal solutions
The three agents of metamorphism are?
heat, pressure, and hydrothermal solutions, hope this helps
What agent of metamorphism can cause the overall composition of the rock to change?
hydrothermal solutions
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.

Why would hydrothermal metamorphism be common around igneous intrusions and active volcanoes?
The magma that forms an intrusion or feeds a volcano provides the heat that drives hydrothermal activity.
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)
How was talc formed?
Talc is formed by the hydrothermal alteration of ultrabasic rocks, or low grade thermal metamorphism of siliceous dolomites.
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.
