Mineral-rich hot water can cause metamorphism by introducing new minerals and elements into the rock through the process of hydrothermal alteration. The heat and pressure from the hot water can also facilitate recrystallization of existing minerals, leading to the formation of new mineral assemblages characteristic of metamorphic rocks. Additionally, the chemical reactions and fluid flow caused by the hot water can modify the rock's texture and composition.
Hydrothermal metamorphism is a type of metamorphism that occurs when rocks come into contact with hot, aqueous fluids. These fluids cause changes in the mineralogical and textural properties of the rocks, ultimately leading to the formation of new minerals. Hydrothermal metamorphism commonly occurs in areas with active tectonic processes, such as mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones.
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.
It is called contact metamorphism.
hot magma
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 is what happens when something is really hot. regional metamorphism on the other hand involves much larger packages of rocks.

Hydrothermal metamorphism commonly occurs in areas with active tectonic processes, such as mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones.
The four types of metamorphism are contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism, and hydrothermal metamorphism. Contact metamorphism occurs near igneous intrusions, regional metamorphism happens over large areas due to tectonic forces, dynamic metamorphism occurs along fault zones, and hydrothermal metamorphism involves hot, circulating fluids altering rocks.
There different from each other because contact metamorphism is a local effect that occurs when molten rock meets solid rock, but on the other hand hydrothermal metamorphism occurs when very hot water reacts with rock, altering its mineralogy and chemistry.

The three main types of metamorphism are: Regional Metamorphism Contact Metamorphism Hydrothermal metamorphism Regional metamorphism is caused when high temperature and pressure affect large regions of Earths crust, It can range from low grade to high grade. It causes folded rock layers. Contact Metamorphism is when molten material comes in contact with solid rock. High temperature and moderate to low pressure from mineral assemblages. Metamorphic effects decrease with distance. Hydrothermal Metamorphism is when very hot water reacts with rock and alters its chemical and mineral composition. As hot fluids migrate in and out of the rock during metamorphism the original mineral composition and texture of the rock change.
Yes it would cause it has water in it
