METAMORPHISM/MAGMATISM

A primary environment that is much simpler and affects pre-existing rock by baking them through contact with

                                  molten rock material either by intrusion of magma or extrusion of lava on the surface.

• Metamorphism

• Magmatism

Semi-liquid hot molten rocks located beneath the Earth, specifically in the melted mantle rock and

                                   oceanic plate.

Molten rocks  present in the lower crust and upper mantle of the Earth is formed or generated through the process of partial melting.

Body of rock is being subjected to conditions that are different from those in which it formed.

• Metamorphism

• Magmatism

A primary environment that occurs over a wide expanse of the crust, hundreds to more than a thousand

                                  kilometers across, resulting from the collision and compression of tectonic plates.

Formation and movement of magma occur in the lower part of the Earth’s crust and in the upper

                                   portion of the mantle, known as asthenosphere.

Molten rocks when solidified, creates igneous rocks found on the surface of the Earth.

• Magmatism

When pressure is exerted from rocks above, it is balanced from below and sides, and is called confining or

                                  lithostatic pressure.
