What kind of metamorphic takes place as magma flows through a volcanic pipe?

∙ 12y ago
Intrusive or extrusive magma can heat and compress the surrounding rock materials, altering their crystal structure and chemical composition. This kind of metamorphism is called "local metamorphism." because the volume of changed rocks due to specific processes is relatively small.Local metamorphism is today, occurring in volcanically active regions an along active faults.

What results when a magma chamber partially empties?
When a magma chamber partially empties, the remaining magma can solidify and form igneous rocks. This can result in the formation of a volcanic neck, which is a vertical column of solidified magma that remains after the surrounding rock has eroded away. Alternatively, if the magma is expelled through volcanic eruptions, it can form volcanic deposits such as lava flows and pyroclastic materials.
Which of these are examples of magma that has reached the earth's surface?
lava flows and volcanic ashes
What are the steps needed to form metamorphic rock from magma?
Metamorphic rock is not formed directly from magma. Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma and lava.
What is a crack through which magma flows is a?
fissure
Lava flows and volcanic ash are examples of magma that has reached the earth's surface true or false?
true
Openings through which magma flows out of the earth's surface?
a volcanic vent
What is liquid magma that flows from a volcanic vent called?
Ava
What happen in volcanic eruption?
Magma flows onto surrounding Landscape.
What is the part of the volcano called where the magma flows out of?
This is known as a volcanic vent.

How viscosity affect volcanic eruptions?
Viscosity is how thick the magma is and this can impact on how much a volcano erupts and how it flows.

true
What is molten rock material that flows over the earths surface?
The molten rock material that flows over the earth's surface is known as magma. This is what will be emitted from a volcanic eruption.
