The primary agent of contact metamorphism is heat. Pressure and chemically active fluids are also very important in this process.
Water is not an agent of metamorphism. The agents of metamorphism are heat, pressure, and chemically active fluids. Water can play a role in transporting ions and facilitating mineral reactions, but it is not considered a primary agent of metamorphism.
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
A zone of contact metamorphism is called an aureole.
Contact metamorphism is what occurs because of close proximity to a mass of magma.
Types of metamorphism are Contact Metamorphism Regional Metamorphism Cataclastic Metamorphism Hydrothermal Metamorphism Burial Metamorphism Shock Metamorphism (Impact Metamorphism)

contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
It is called contact metamorphism.
Contact metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma. This type of metamorphism happens when hot magma comes into contact with existing rock, causing the rock to undergo changes in mineralogy and texture due to the heat and pressure.
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
Contact metamorphism is metamorphism that happens when preexisting rock comes in contact with a molten rock or magma and it melts locally.Regional metamorphism is metamorphism happens when two plates collide the plate that subducts can melt by the heated area.
yes
contact metamorphism is what happens when something is really hot. regional metamorphism on the other hand involves much larger packages of rocks.
A zone of contact metamorphism is called an aureole.
Burial metamorphism differs from regional and contact metamorphism in that it is the result of rocks being buried deeper into the earth's crust through tectonic movements.
Contact metamorphism is what occurs because of close proximity to a mass of magma.
