What are the Three types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
What are the 4 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 is the relationship between the three types of rocks?
All three types are parts of the 'rock cycle', the never ending cycle of erosion, deposition, lithification, metamorphism, melting, and solidification.
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 are three agents of metamorphism?
There are three agents of metamorphism in the changing of metamorphic rocks. They are heat, pressure, and hydro thermal solutions.
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.
What are the three agents of metamorphism?
heat, pressure, and hydro-thermal solutions
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
What are three main agents of metamorphism?
Heat, Pressure, and Chemically active fluids.
The three agents of metamorphism are?
heat, pressure, and hydrothermal solutions, hope this helps
