| 1. | Roof pendants typically have been strongly metamorphosed through the processes of contact metamorphism.
|
| 2. | This process of direct heating due to magma transport is known as contact metamorphism.
|
| 3. | Contact metamorphism occurs typically around country rock.
|
| 4. | Contact metamorphism is greater adjacent to the intrusion and dissipates with distance from the contact.
|
| 5. | This is geologic evidence of contact metamorphism.
|
| 6. | Marialite occurs in regional and contact metamorphism : marble, calcareous gneiss, granulite and greenschist.
|
| 7. | A special type of contact metamorphism, associated with fossil fuel fires, is known as pyrometamorphism.
|
| 8. | Rocks formed by contact metamorphism may not present signs of strong deformation and are often fine-grained.
|
| 9. | Lower pressure, normally contact metamorphism produces albite-epidote hornfels while higher pressures at great depth produces eclogite.
|
| 10. | The area surrounding the intrusion where the contact metamorphism effects are present is called the " metamorphic aureole ".
