What is the difference between regional and contact metamorphose?
Contact metamorphism is a type of metamorphismwhere rock minerals and texture are changed, mainly by heat, due to contact with magma.
Which type of metamorphosis makes non-foliated rocks?
Contact metamorphism does not often produce the foliation caused by regional metamorphism
What are the two types of metamorphisms and why is each different?
It really depends on where the metamorphosis is happening. With earth science and rock and minerals there are infact 4 kinds of metamophosis. the is regional, contact, shock , and burial.
Is marble contact or regional metamorphism?
contact :)
What is causing this live in Fargo ND the rocks for the last 6 months here have been changing big time. They are going thru Metamorphosis with our question. What is going on?
The Geological process of metamorphosis takes geological time scales (except thermal contact metamorphosis - contact with lava) - It is not clear what you are asking but it is not metamorphosis.
What is the difference between contact sport and sports?
that in one you can contact but in the other its normal
What is the difference between bifocal and multifocal contact lenses?
The difference between bifocal and multifocal contact lenses is that biofocal contact lenses do not provide so many different angles as multifocal contact lenses do. Biofocal contact lenses do not allow the user to see as good as with multifocal contact lenses.
What is the difference between regional and contact metamorphism?
Regional metamorphism is the creation of metamorphic rock from large geographically significant processes like plate tectonics. Contact metamorphism is the creation of metamorphic rock from the proximity of an existing rock to a heat source provided by a plutonic intrusion.
Is soapstone regional or contact metamorphism?
Very low grade regional metamorphism.
What are the 4 types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
What is the difference between direct and indirect contact?
so as you can see when pie2 =1178 the direct contact is the same
What rocks are found during contact metamorphosis?
Contact metamorphism generally occurs relatively close to the surface in a zone of contact between an intruding magma body and the country rock, which could be a sedimentary, igneous, or previously metamorphosed rock. Hornfels is a common resultant contact metamorphic rock.
