Are magmatic processes a form of geological metamorphism?
No. Magmatic processes involve molten rock, so they are considered igneous.
What type of metamorphism cause meteorite?
None.
What are the two sources of the heat and pressure that cause metamorphism?
Magmatic intrusionsBurial to great depth by sedimentary overburdenPlate tectonic collision
What is the primary cause of change in regional metamorphism?
dirt
What are the 4 types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
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.
What two processes can change a rock into 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.
What two conditions cause intense metamorphism?
High temperature and high pressure.
What are processes are involved in each type of metamorphism?
heat or pressure
What are the four processes that change rock inside the earth?
Four processes are compaction and cementation, metamorphism, and cooling.
What rock cycle processes involves heat and pressure?
Possibly metamorphism.
Are magmatic processes a form of geological metamorphism?
No. Magmatic processes involve molten rock, so they are considered igneous.
What two processes can cause waves to bend?
diffraction and refraction are two processes that can bend waves
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.
What are the processes involve in the formation of rocks?
Heating, pressurization, deformation, recrystallization, and metamorphism.
Where do most metamorphism processes take place?
Deep underground from heat and pressure.
What type of metamorphism cause meteorite?
None.
