1. Roof pendants typically have been strongly metamorphosed through the processes of contact metamorphism . 2. This process of direct heating due to magma transport is known as contact metamorphism . 3. Contact metamorphism occurs typically around country rock.4. Contact metamorphism is greater adjacent to the intrusion and dissipates with distance from the contact.5. This is geologic evidence of contact metamorphism . 6. Marialite occurs in regional and contact metamorphism : marble, calcareous gneiss, granulite and greenschist. 7. A special type of contact metamorphism , associated with fossil fuel fires, is known as pyrometamorphism. 8. Rocks formed by contact metamorphism may not present signs of strong deformation and are often fine-grained. 9. Lower pressure, normally contact metamorphism produces albite-epidote hornfels while higher pressures at great depth produces eclogite. 10. The area surrounding the intrusion where the contact metamorphism effects are present is called the " metamorphic aureole ".
