Local metamorphism occurs when igneous intrusions get very close to earth's surface. This usually changes sedimentary and igneous rock into metamorphic rock due to the intense

• heat

• fluids

• strain

Igneous rock is formed from the cooling and/or crystallization of

• magma

• ONLY lava

• ONLY magma
