Question

Which of the following is also known as dynamo thermal metamorphism?

A.

Regional metamorphism

B.

Dynamic metamorphism

C.

Retrogressive metamorphism

D.

Contact metamorphism

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (B) Dynamic metamorphism


Explanation:

Dynamic metamorphism is also known as dynamo thermal metamorphism. It occurs due to the intense pressure and heat caused by tectonic forces, typically along fault zones. This type of metamorphism primarily results in the deformation and recrystallization of rocks due to mechanical forces.

Information Booster:
  1. Dynamic metamorphism typically occurs in shear zones, where rocks are subjected to high pressure and temperature conditions.

  2. The heat involved is generated by tectonic activity such as the movement of earth's plates.

Additional Information:
  • Regional metamorphism occurs over large areas due to high pressure and temperature over extended periods, typically in mountain-building regions.
  • Retrogressive metamorphism refers to the process where high-grade metamorphic rocks are subjected to lower temperatures and pressures.

  • Contact metamorphism happens when rocks are heated by nearby magma or lava, typically resulting in localized changes.
