What is 2 types of metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are formed by the process of extreme heat, pressure and other chemicals. Two types of metamorphism are dynamic which makes the pressure and extreme heat and thermal which is caused by the heat of magma from a volcanic eruption.
How many types of metamorphism occur in earth's crust?
Two types of metamorphism occur in earth's crust. One is when small volumes of rock come in contact with magma. And the other is when large amounts of the earth's crust are effected by heat and pressure
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 can occur in this scenario.
What rock was once shale?
Shale is a sedimentary rock that can transform into other types of rock through the process of metamorphism. Under heat and pressure, shale can turn into slate, while further metamorphism can result in the formation of phyllite, schist, and gneiss.
What are the Three types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
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 three types of metamorphism?
Contact, dynamic, burial, regional, and impact.
What are the three main types of metamorphism Compare and contrast the factors that cause each type?
The three main types of metamorphism are: Regional Metamorphism Contact Metamorphism Hydrothermal metamorphism Regional metamorphism is caused when high temperature and pressure affect large regions of Earths crust, It can range from low grade to high grade. It causes folded rock layers. Contact Metamorphism is when molten material comes in contact with solid rock. High temperature and moderate to low pressure from mineral assemblages. Metamorphic effects decrease with distance. Hydrothermal Metamorphism is when very hot water reacts with rock and alters its chemical and mineral composition. As hot fluids migrate in and out of the rock during metamorphism the original mineral composition and texture of the rock change.
What type of rocks can become metamorphic?
All rock types can be changed through metamorphism.
How many types of metamorphism occur in earth's crust?
Two types of metamorphism occur in earth's crust. One is when small volumes of rock come in contact with magma. And the other is when large amounts of the earth's crust are effected by heat and pressure
At what four plate boundary types does metamorphism occur?
transform, divergent, convergent, and hot spots
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 can occur in this scenario.
When a rock changes due to surrounding pressure on all sides?
Burial metamorphism
Does Metamorphisn take place in the solid state with or without fluid activity?
Metamorphism can take place in a solid state. The metamorphism can take place with or without any types of fluid activity, although, the majority is done with fluid activity.
