What else can I help you with?
What produces high grade metamorphism?
Extreme pressure and temperatures, such as those found at the base of a thickened crust.
What are the 4 types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
Is contact metamorphism likely to produce foliation?
Contact metamorphism is less likely to produce foliation compared to regional metamorphism. This is because contact metamorphism involves high temperatures and low pressures, typically resulting in more localized metamorphic changes without the development of the extensive directional alignment of minerals that produces foliation.
What is formed by metamorphism of limestone or dolomite?
The metamorphism of limestone primarily results in the formation of marble, while the metamorphism of dolomite produces a rock known as dolomitic marble or simply dolomite. During this process, the original carbonate minerals recrystallize under heat and pressure, leading to a denser and more crystalline texture. Marble is prized for its aesthetic qualities and is commonly used in sculpture and architecture.
If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called metamorphism?
It is called contact metamorphism.
What kind of information can you find in Highgrade magazine?
Unfortunately there is no known magazine that has the name Highgrade. Please check the name of the magazine or the spelling again and resubmit the question.
When limestone undergoes metamorphism it produces which metamorphic rock?
When limestone undergoes metamorphism, it produces the metamorphic rock called marble. This process involves recrystallization of the calcite mineral in limestone to form interlocking crystals of calcite in marble.
What produces high grade metamorphism?
Extreme pressure and temperatures, such as those found at the base of a thickened crust.

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 rock is only formed by regional metamorphasim?
The heat generated by the magma chamber has changed these sedimentary rocks into the metamorphic rocks marble, quartzite, and hornfels. Regional Metamorphism occurs over a much larger area. This metamorphism produces rocks such as gneiss and schist.
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)
What are the Three types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism

Which type of metamorphism is most likely to occur along the fault line?
Dynamic Metamorphism >.<
