What are the Three types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
What are the types of rock metamorphism?
Types of metamorphism are Contact Metamorphism Regional Metamorphism Cataclastic Metamorphism Hydrothermal Metamorphism Burial Metamorphism Shock Metamorphism (Impact Metamorphism)
When a rock changes due to surrounding pressure on all sides?
Burial metamorphism
Describe how contact metamorphism is different from regional metamorphism?
contact metamorphism is what happens when something is really hot. regional metamorphism on the other hand involves much larger packages of rocks.
Which type of metamorphism affects the greatest volumes of rock?
Regional metamorphism
Which factor is most important for each type of metamorphism?
regional: heat and pressure and shear stress (LOCAL)- contact: heat- high pressure- low deformational: high -pressure, low- heat
What deformational structures results in brittle deformation?
faults
What are the 4 types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called metamorphism?
It is called contact metamorphism.
What are the Three types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma?
Contact metamorphism can occur in this scenario.
What are the types of rock metamorphism?
Types of metamorphism are Contact Metamorphism Regional Metamorphism Cataclastic Metamorphism Hydrothermal Metamorphism Burial Metamorphism Shock Metamorphism (Impact Metamorphism)
When a rock changes due to surrounding pressure on all sides?
Burial metamorphism
What is a deformational force?
The force which changes the dimension of the object such as length, volume or which changes the shape is known as deforming force
Which type of metamorphism is most likely to occur along the fault line?
Dynamic Metamorphism >.<
Which type of metamorphism is associated with orogens?
Regional Metamorphism
How is metamorphism different from regional metamorphism?
contact metamorphism is what happens when something is really hot. regional metamorphism on the other hand involves much larger packages of rocks.
