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.
If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called metamorphism?
It is called contact metamorphism.
What are the 4 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.
Ore bodies at divergent plate boundaries can be created through what contact metamorphism regional metamorphism hydrothermal process?
Contact metamorphism

It is called contact metamorphism.

What is a contact to metamorphism?
A process that alters rocks as a result of heat generated from magma
Why are metamorphic rocksformed by contact metamorphism usually not as dense as those formed by regional metamorphism?
Because contact metamorphism usually occurs because of an increase in temperature. In contrary, regional metamorphism is usually the result of compression. Compression makes a rock more dense.
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma?
Contact metamorphism can occur in this scenario.
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.
What type of metamorphism contact or regional would result in a schist explain your choice?
Regional. Contact metamorphism is high temperature-low pressure so no mineral alignment occurs, only new mineral growth.
When Minerals that crystallize at high temperatures as a result of contact metamorphism tend to be found near?
Igneous Intrusions
What causes contact metamorphism?
contact metamorphism occurs when hot magma bakes rocks
What is the difference between contact and metamorphism?
Contact metamorphism is metamorphism that happens when preexisting rock comes in contact with a molten rock or magma and it melts locally.Regional metamorphism is metamorphism happens when two plates collide the plate that subducts can melt by the heated area.
Ore bodies at divergent plate boundaries can be created through what contact metamorphism regional metamorphism hydrothermal process?
Contact metamorphism
