If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called metamorphism?
It is called contact metamorphism.
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten 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.
What is contact metamorphism a result of?
hot magma
Metamorphism occurs at hot spots where magma rises up through the Earth?
Metamorphism actually occurs when rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. This can happen due to tectonic forces, such as during the formation of mountain ranges, or when rocks are buried deep in the crust. While magma can be involved in some types of metamorphism, it does not necessarily have to be present for metamorphism to occur.
What is an example of a metamorphic rock?
One of the most popular metamorphic rocks is marble. Originally limestone, marble is generally created through regional metamorphism, which is when pressure and heat from where magma is pushing up through the Earth's crust effect rocks which are close by, but not actually touching the magma. Contact metamorphism changes the rocks that do actually touch the magma, this is how shale is usually metamorphosed into gneiss.
If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called metamorphism?
It is called contact metamorphism.
Metamorphism that occurs because of close proximity to a mass of magma is called?
Contact metamorphism is what occurs because of close proximity to a mass of magma.
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to intrusion of Molten Magma?
Contact metamorphism.
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten 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.
If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called what?
It is called contact metamorphism.
Would contact metamorphism or regional metamorphism be a product of 2 plates colliding?
Regional metamorphism would be the product of two plates colliding. The intense pressure and temperature generated during plate collision can create regional metamorphism, which affects a larger area and involves the recrystallization of rocks. Contact metamorphism, on the other hand, is caused by heat from a nearby magma intrusion and affects rocks in a localized area.
What is contact metamorphism a result of?
hot magma
What rocks are formed by magma?
Intrusive igneous rocks are formed by magma. Magma can also cause the contact metamorphism of rock that it is intruded into.

What kind of metamorphism occurs when intrusive magma forms a sill between two sedimentary rock strata?

What about magma affects how explosive an eruption will be?
The composition of the magma affects how explosive a volcanic eruption will be.
