The 16 pages that link to Contact metamorphism, each with the reason it gives.

• MetamorphismBroader topic: Contact aureoles provide a clear example of temperature-driven transformation.

• Metamorphic rockBroader topic: It transforms surrounding rock near intrusions, often with limited directed pressure.

• Metamorphic faciesRelated: Contact settings helped motivate facies descriptions beyond regional metamorphic belts.

• MarbleRelated: Magma can heat carbonate rock enough to recrystallize it into marble.

• Metamorphic petrologyCompared with: Its localized thermal pattern contrasts with broad regional metamorphic histories.

• Siberian TrapsRelated: Sills baked surrounding sediments, helping release carbon compounds into the atmosphere.

• Sierra Nevada batholithRelated: Hot batholith intrusions metamorphosed some of the rocks they cut.

• AnorthiteRelated: Calcic plagioclase may form during high-temperature reactions around intrusions.

• Intrusive rockRelated: Hot intrusive bodies can transform the rocks that enclose them.

• Sill (geology)Related: A hot sill bakes the rocks above and below it, producing contact-metamorphic aureoles.

• AndalusiteRelated: Low-pressure heating around intrusions can produce andalusite-bearing rocks.

• Igneous intrusionRelated: Intrusions heat their margins and may create metamorphic aureoles.

• BatholithRelated: Heat from batholith emplacement can metamorphose extensive zones of country rock.

• HornfelsNarrower topic: The heating process that typically produces hornfels beside an igneous intrusion.

• HedenbergiteRelated: Hedenbergite can record high-temperature reactions in rocks altered around intrusions.

• WollastoniteRelated: Heating limestone near intrusions can produce wollastonite through reactions with silica.
