What is the mineral composition of serpentinite?
none is really sure
What are the 4 types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
Are kimberlite lamproite and serpentinite volcanic pipes common in California?
There are no known kimberlite or lamproite volcanic pipes in California. There are many serpentinite bodies present, but these are generally not volcanic pipes and are not of deep seated origin.
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.

What is serpentinite?
•Serpentinization accompanied by: -Redox and H2 generation -Volumetric change •3.3 g/cm3 •2.7 g/cm3 -Heat generation
What metamorphic rock contains minerals with brilliant color and is easy to carve?
serpentinite
Why are people not allowed to touch serpentinite rocks?
Serpentinite can contain the mineral Chrysotile, also known as white asbestos. Asbestos is carcinogenic (cancer causing) and can also if inhaled cause serious lung problems and is best avoided!
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.
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)
When a rock changes due to surrounding pressure on all sides?
Burial metamorphism
What is the original rock called before metamorphism takes place?
It is called the 'protolith' or 'parent rock'.
