Igneous rocks are formed around hot spots when there is an increase in temperature, a decrease in pressure, or a change in composition. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

What energy source drives the processes that form igneous and metamorphic rocks is found in?
earth's interior
What processes found at hot spots will form metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks at hot spots will form mostly by contact and hydrothermal metamorphism as a result of exposure to heat from magma and interaction with hot water respectively.

What processes found at convergent boundary will help form the following rocks?
The processes found at convergent boundary that help in the formation of rocks are subduction zones. Igneous rocks form around convergent boundaries.

Are magmatic processes a form of geological metamorphism?
No. Magmatic processes involve molten rock, so they are considered igneous.

The relationship among igneous... metamorphic... and sedimentary rocks and the processes that form them are shown by the WHAT?
The rock cycle.
Do granite igneous rock form quickly or slowly?
Granite is the result of slow cooling processes of felsic magmas.
