Metamorphism comprises changes both in mineralogy and in the fabric of the original rock. In general, these alterations are brought about either by the intrusion of hot magma into cooler surrounding rocks (contact metamorphism) or by large-scale tectonic movements of Earth’s lithospheric plates ...

By partial melting of lherzolite, two primary magmas: tholeiitic magma and picrite-basalt magma are formed. The former evoluted into gabbro-diabase-pyroxenic basalt rock series and show the characteristics of MORB; while the latter evoluted into gabbro-diorite-albite basalt-picrite basalt one, ...
The changes of contact metamorphism that convert rocks to hornfels can include recrystallization, cementation, silicification, partial melting, and more. The result is often a dense, hard, fine-grained rock that is generally homogenous and exhibits a semi-conchoidal fracture. Hornfels can be almost...

Migmatite is the same material as gneiss but brought close to melting by regional metamorphism so that the veins and layers of minerals became warped and mixed. This type of metamorphic rock has been buried very deep and squeezed very hard. In many cases, the darker part of the rock (consis...

Origin Extrusive rock is igneous rock formed from lava that erupted onto Earth’s surface. Basalt Origin Intrusive rocks are formed when the magma beneath Earth’s surface cools and hardens. Granite Why is this granite intrusion above Earth’s surface?
