contact metamorphismIs the small scale metamorphic alteration of rock due to localized heating. It is usually cause by an igneous intrusion like a sill or a dyke.

2 |
contact metamorphismMetamorphism genetically related to the intrusion (or extrusion) of magmas and taking place in rocks at or near their contact with a body of igneous rock.
|
3 |
contact metamorphismThe process of mineral or rock metamorphism which is caused from magma intrusion near the contact with the magma.
|
4 |
contact metamorphismalteration of rock by localized high temperatures and fluids circulating near a cooling mass of extrusive igneous rock (a pluton).
|
5 |
contact metamorphismA change in rock brought about primarily by heat rather than pressure.
|
6 |
contact metamorphismtype of metamorphism that occurs when rocks are heated by contact with magma or lava.
|
7 |
contact metamorphismMineralogical and textural changes and deformation of rock resulting from the heat and pressure of an igneous intrusion in the near vicinity.

contact metamorphismMetamorphism caused by heat from an igneous intrusion.

10 |
contact metamorphismMetamorphic rocks that have been formed in areas where volcanic activity has occurred. The heat from the lava directly heats the neighboring rocks and causes them to reform. There are more crystals in [..]

contact metamorphismThe process of mineral or rock metamorphism which is caused from magma intrusion near the contact with the magma.
|
12 |
contact metamorphismA type of extreme metamorphism that takes place in the contact zone between an intruding body of magma and the existing rock.

contact metamorphismMetamorphism of country rocks adjacent to an intrusion, caused by heat from the intrusion. Contango
