Compare and contrast the factors that cause the three main types of metamorphism

Biology

Inessa [10]2 years ago

Contact, Regional, and Dynamic metamorphism are the three main types.

  • When rocks are sheared at plate borders, metamorphism can occur instantly, or it might take millions of years when magma buried deep beneath the Earth's surface slowly cools.
  • When magma comes into touch with an existing body of rock, contact metamorphism occurs. When this occurs, the magma fluid infiltrates the existing rocks and raises their temperature.
  • Regional metamorphism happens over a lot more ground. Rocks like gneiss and schist are produced by this metamorphism. The creation of mountains is one of the major geologic processes that produce regional metamorphism.
  • Mountain-building also leads to dynamic metamorphism. The rocks are bent, folded, crushed, flattened, and sheared by these enormous heat and pressure pressures.

Various factors lead to the formation of metamorphic rocks.

A population of large predators in an ecosystem has been trapped and removed from the area. How would this event most likely cha
Kay [80]
When a top predator is removed from an ecosystem, a series knock-on effects are felt throughout all the levels in a food web, as each level is regulated by the one above it. This is known as a trophic cascade. The results of these trophic cascades can lead to an ecosystem being completely transformed. The impacts trickle down through each level, upsetting the ecological balance by altering numbers of different animal species, until the effects are finally felt by the vegetation.
