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.

What are the four types of 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.


Which term indicates changes in rock due to the injection of magma?

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.


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)

If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called metamorphism?

It is called contact metamorphism.


What term describes the zone of contact metamorphism surrounding an intrusive magma body?

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.


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.
