If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called metamorphism?
It is called contact metamorphism.
What is an example of a metamorphic rock?
One of the most popular metamorphic rocks is marble. Originally limestone, marble is generally created through regional metamorphism, which is when pressure and heat from where magma is pushing up through the Earth's crust effect rocks which are close by, but not actually touching the magma. Contact metamorphism changes the rocks that do actually touch the magma, this is how shale is usually metamorphosed into gneiss.
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma?
Contact metamorphism can occur in this scenario.
What is contact metamorphism a result of?
hot magma
Bural metamorphism occurs when hot magma or lava comes in contact with rock?
No. This is contatc metamorphism. Burial metamorphism occurs when rock is altered due to the weight of overlying rock.
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 intrusion of Molten Magma?
Contact metamorphism.
Metamorphism that occurs because of close proximity to a mass of magma is called?
Contact metamorphism is what occurs because of close proximity to a mass of magma.
If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called what?
It is called contact metamorphism.
What causes contact metamorphism?
contact metamorphism occurs when hot magma bakes rocks

What rocks are formed by magma?
Intrusive igneous rocks are formed by magma. Magma can also cause the contact metamorphism of rock that it is intruded into.
Which would you expect to cause the greatest amount of contact metamorphism an intrusion of basaltic magma or an intrusion of rhyolitic magma?
Basaltic magma
What kind of metamorphism occurs when intrusive magma forms a sill between two sedimentary rock strata?
contact metamorphism
Process that change rocks next to a body of magma?
Regional Metamorphism
