It means a change, as when a larval insect becomes a winged adult.
The word itself means "life change."
The word metamorphosis is used metaphrically to mean any marked change from one state to another, as in metamorphic rocks.
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
Contact metamorphism is the term that indicates changes in rocks due to the injection of magma. This process occurs when hot magma comes in contact with cooler rocks, leading to changes in mineral composition and texture.
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.
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.
Metamorphism.
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
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.

contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
It is called contact metamorphism.
The term that describes the zone of contact metamorphism surrounding an intrusive magma body is "contact aureole." This zone is characterized by the alteration of surrounding rocks due to the heat and fluids released by the intruding magma as it cools and solidifies.
Dynamic Metamorphism >.<
Regional Metamorphism
contact metamorphism is what happens when something is really hot. regional metamorphism on the other hand involves much larger packages of rocks.
