Is it true that regional metamorphism occurs deep in the earth's crust?
Yes
What are changes to rocks over wide areas called?
metamorphicregional metamorphism
What effect does a trench have on an ocean?
suduction or sea floor spreading
What are the 4 types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
What is the most common type of metamorphism?
The most common type of land metamorphism is Regional metamorphism. The most common rocks are slates, schists, and gneisses. This occurs within the folds of mountain belts and cratonic areas.
What is suduction?
123
What are the types of metamorphism and their location?
Contact = Close to a hot spot Dynamic = Along a transform boundary Impact = Near a crater Regional = At deep subduction areas
What are the type of metamorphism to its location?
Contact - Close to a hot spot Dynamic - Along a transform boundary Impact - Near a crater Regional - At deep subduction areas
Where does metamorphism occur?
It forms deep inside the Earth's surface
Compare contact thermal metamorphism and regional dynothermal metamorphism and the types of rocks that result from each?
Contact metamorphism occurs locally, next to igneous intrusions and along fractures that were in contact with hydrothermal fluids. Regional metamorphism occurs over very large areas, such as deep within the cores of rising mountain ranges, and generally occurs with the folding of rock layers. Both result in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
Is it true that regional metamorphism occurs deep in the earth's crust?
Yes
Where do most metamorphism processes take place?
Deep underground from heat and pressure.
What are changes to rocks over wide areas called?
metamorphicregional metamorphism
What changes to rocks over wide areas called?
metamorphicregional metamorphism
Where does metamorphism take place?
Most metamorphism takes place deep underground, where high heat and pressure change the rocks, since both increase with depth.
Where does regional metamorphism occur?
Regional metamorphism takes place in large areas around plate boundaries.
What is sexual suduction?
It's the of seduceing someone thru sex..
