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.

How do igneous rocks form at hot spots?

The lava volcanoe shoots the igneous rocks out of it and then it farts hot spots


What processes found at hot spots will help igneous rock form?

Igneous rocks are formed around hot spots when there is an increase in temperature, a decrease in pressure, or a change in composition. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.


Where are metamorphic rocks from?

Sedimentary rocks occur when sediments, weathered fragments from older rocks as well as biological debris like leaves, trees, and dead animals, are deposited and stay in place long enough for rock to form. Some sedimentary rocks include sandstones, shales, limestone and coal seams. Sedimentary deposits are very important in economic geology for they include coal seams and oil deposits.

What type of rock forms at a hot spot?

All three rock types (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) could be formed due to the presence of a hot spot or plume, although igneous rock would seem most obvious. Currently there is a debate occurring on the origin of so-called "hot spots". See related link below.


What depths are hot spots found at?

Hot spots are typically found at varying depths, often originating from the Earth's mantle, which can be located anywhere from about 30 to 1,800 kilometers (19 to 1,100 miles) beneath the Earth's surface. The magma generated by these hot spots can rise through the mantle and crust, leading to volcanic activity at the surface. While the exact depth can vary based on geological conditions, they are generally associated with deeper mantle processes rather than shallow crustal formations.

What processes found at hot spots will help metamorphic rock form?

When a rock is subjected to pressure greater than 1500 bars and temperatures higher than 150 - 200°C it undergoes a process known as metamorphism which causes a profound chemical and/or physical change to the rock.


What processes found at hot spots will help form the following rocks?

Metamorphic rocks are formed by continental plates colliding. These are Himalayan or Alps mountains. Sedimentary rock is also made into mountains when it is pushed up where tectonic plates collide.

What kind of rock types are found in hot spots?

Hot spots are known to produce basaltic rocks, such as basalt and rhyolite. These rocks are typically associated with volcanic activity and are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma from the Earth's mantle. The specific rock type found in hot spots can vary depending on the composition of the magma and the conditions of the eruption.

Where are the red shards in Pokemon Sapphire?

Red Shards can be found randomly in Dive Spots (the dark patches on the sea, in case you didn't know) on things such as rocks, or crators.


What forces cause the formations of the rock cycle to happen?

Hot spots caused by mantle plumes create new igneous rocks. Plate tectonics causes old crust to be destroyed and new crust to form which also forms new igneous rocks. Plate tectonics is also responsible for metamorphism which creates new metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are created by the weathering, erosion, and later lithification of of pre-existing rocks (e.g. sandstone). Sedimentary rocks can also precipitate from aqueous solutions (e.g. Halite). Forces: plate tectonics, weathering, erosion, precipitation


Can you get fordyce spots on your fingers?

Fordyce spots are harmless yellowish white spots that found on the shaft of the penis, the labia, scrotum, or the vermilion border of the lips of a person's face. They may be found in the mouth. They are not found on the fingers.


How could a rock from one category be recycled to become a rock from another category?

A rock is a conglomerate of solid inorganic material (minerals) which results from structural changes at various stages of an evolutionary processes named "Rock Cycle".There are three types or categories of rocks: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. To explain the rock cycle you can start from any of it's stages. But in this case the explanation will start since the magma stage: Magma: viscous liquid substance (molten rock) located at the center of the earth. This can be done migrate through cracks or weak spots at the earth court. Crystallization: occurs when the magma in the earth crust cools and decreases it's temperature to form extrusive igneous rocks or igneous intrusive rocks. Igneous Rocks: There are two types, the extrusive igneous (volcanic rocks which are crystallized on the surface) or intrusive igneous (formed within the crust). Weathering: the igneous rock (for this explanation, but it can also happen with sedimentary or metamorphic rocks) is broken into fragments. Erosion and Transport: rock fragments resulting from the weathering fall in deposits. Lithification: the fragments are consolidated and compacted by moisture and mineral-binding, resulting sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary Rocks: They can be classic / debris (resulting from fragments of preexisting rocks) or nonclassical (Chemical: are caused by the precipitation of materials in solution; Organic: it arises from the accumulation of dead plants or animals, or by buildings of living organisms such as corals). Metamorphism: sedimentary rocks (it can also happen with igneous rocks) are buried at great depths where they are in contact with gas, pressure and high temperatures. From this rocks change their physical structure to become metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic Rocks: They can be foliate (slaty structure) or nonfoliate (they are hard at contact). Fusion: the rock is exposed to extreme temperatures, melting into the depths of the earth crust, again changing its physical structure to become magma. Then the rock cycle starts again.


What is the medical term meaning red spots seen on autopsy?

Red spots found on a body during an autopsy are known as petechiae, or tardieu spots. They are usually spots of ecchymosis found under the pleura after death caused by suffocation.
