Question

The primary agent of contact metamorphism is
A) Temperature B) Pressure C) Weathering D) Flowing water

Answer 1

Answer:

.This heat can be sufficient to cause metamorphism, which, because it occurs at the contact with the igneous body, is called CONTACT METAMORPHISM. Because the primary metamorphic agent in this situation is heat and not pressure, the rocks produced by contact metamorphism are never foliated.
