The primary agent of contact metamorphism is heat. Pressure and chemically active fluids are also very important in this process.

What is the most efficient agent of metamorphism?
Heat is the most efficient agent of metamorphism.
What causes contact metamorphism?
contact metamorphism occurs when hot magma bakes rocks
Would contact metamorphism or regional metamorphism be a product of 2 plates colliding?
Two plates colliding will generate both regional and contact metamorphism. The point of contact would have contact metamorphism while surrounding parts would be regionally metamophrsed.
Which is not an agent of metamorphism?
running water
What are the Three types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
What is the agent of contact metamorphism?
HEAT
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
What is the most efficient agent of metamorphism?
Heat is the most efficient agent of metamorphism.
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma?
Contact metamorphism can occur in this scenario.
What causes contact metamorphism?
contact metamorphism occurs when hot magma bakes rocks
Ore bodies at divergent plate boundaries can be created through what contact metamorphism regional metamorphism hydrothermal process?
Contact metamorphism
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.
Would contact metamorphism or regional metamorphism be a product of 2 plates colliding?
Two plates colliding will generate both regional and contact metamorphism. The point of contact would have contact metamorphism while surrounding parts would be regionally metamophrsed.
Is heat an agent of metamorphism?
yes
Which is not an agent of metamorphism?
running water
How is contact 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.
