What rock forming process occures when hot magma forces its way into rock?
contact metamorphism
If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called metamorphism?
It is called contact metamorphism.
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.
What is the process called when magma transition into intrusive igneous rock?
By Magma I'm guessing you mean the molten sedimentary rocks. The process is called metamorphism.
What occurs when heat from nearby magma causes changes in the surrounding rocks?
intrusive metamorphism
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to intrusion of Molten Magma?
Contact metamorphism.
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 rock forming process occures when hot magma forces its way into rock?
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 metamorphism?
It is called contact metamorphism.
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 two geological processes are involved in changing sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock?
The two processes resulting from sedimentary into metamorphic rock are known as contact metamorphism and regional metamorphism. Regional metamorphism most notably involves two tectonic plates colliding, while contact metamorphism occurs due to the intrusion of magma.
Compare and contrast contact metamorphism and regional metamorphism?
Contact metamorphism is the process of forming rocks from the heat of magma intrusion. Regional metamorphism, meanwhile, is the process of forming rocks by pressure and heat at plate boundaries.

No. This is contatc metamorphism. Burial metamorphism occurs when rock is altered due to the weight of overlying rock.
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.
