Metamorphism of pre-existing sedimentary or igneous rocks occurs by heat from nearby magma called an igneous intrusion.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Contact metamorphism occurs when the hot igneous rock thrusts into some some other rock which exists previously. Then the pre-existing rock is baked by heat and during this process no additional pressure is added and this leads to the change in the mineral structure of the rock. Contact metamorphism is occurred only with heat and not by adding any additional pressure on the rock.

Once the ocean forms in the rift valley, the split continent represents how many lithospheric plates?
Sloan [31]

The forming of the ocean in the rift valley will result into the split continent representing two lithospheric plates.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The continent would split into two plates named as Somali plate and the Nubian plate. As the extension of the split continues, the lithospheric rupture will occur within 10 million years. This will result in forming of a new ocean basin. This split of continent is currently being experienced in the African continent.
