What are two ways that can poduce metamorphic rocks?
Two ways in which metamorphic rocks are 1) contact metamorphism (thermal) where magma comes in direct contact with surrounding igneous rock and changes it due to high temperatures and usually low pressure. 2) Regional metamorphism (dynamothermal) ,high pressures and low temperature eg mountain ranges. or 3) Cataclastic metamorphism, heat as a result of friction due to two plate meeting or passing each other.
What are the 4 types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called metamorphism?
It is called contact metamorphism.
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma?
Contact metamorphism can occur in this scenario.
How does Burial metamorphism differ from Regional and Contact metamorphism?
Burial metamorphism differs from regional and contact metamorphism in that it is the result of rocks being buried deeper into the earth's crust through tectonic movements.
Which type of metamorphism is most likely to occur along the fault line?
Dynamic 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)
Describe the 4 kinds of metamophism?
Cataclastic meta rocks are formed from rocks grinding past each other in fault zones. Burial metamorphism creates altered rock simply from overburden pressure. Contact metamorphism occurs from exposure to heat from an intrusive magma body. Regional metamorphism occurs from pressure and heat caused by tectonic forces.

What are the Three types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma?
Contact metamorphism can occur in this scenario.
When a rock changes due to surrounding pressure on all sides?
Burial metamorphism
Which type of metamorphism is associated with orogens?
Regional Metamorphism
How is metamorphism different from regional metamorphism?
contact metamorphism is what happens when something is really hot. regional metamorphism on the other hand involves much larger packages of rocks.
