What is the most important agent(s) of metamorphism?
Metamorphism is the change in the structure or composition of rocks. The most important agents of metamorphism are heat and pressure.
What is the most efficient agent of metamorphism?
Heat is the most efficient agent of metamorphism.
What type of rock is meta-conglomerate?
the meta conglomerate is a metamorphic rock it's mineral composition is from quartz & it has a non- foliated texture, it's formed via temprature (the agent of metamorphism) & the type of metamorphism is said to be "thermal" & the pre-metamorphic rock is conglomerate.
Which is not an agent of metamorphism?
running water
What is an agent of metamorphism related to temperature?
heat
What agent of metamorphism can cause the overall composition of rock to change?
hydrothermal solutions

Is heat an agent of metamorphism?
yes
Which is not an agent of metamorphism?
running water
What is the agent of contact metamorphism?
HEAT
What is an agent of metamorphism related to temperature?
heat
An agent of metamorphism resulting from the weight of rocks above?
Pressure
The primary agent of contact metamorphism is?
The primary agent of contact metamorphism is heat. Pressure and chemically active fluids are also very important in this process.
Describe how pressure acts as an agent of metamorphism?
Metamorphic rock is formed by intense heat and pressure. Pressure compresses and changes the composition and appearance of these types of rocks. For example, whether pressure is evenly applied or not determines if metamorphic rocks are foliated.
