Question
question: ____ takes place when a hot body of magma intrudes into the cold, upper part of the crust.
answer input:
spelling counts but capitalization doesn’t.
Brief Explanations
The process described involves heat transfer from hot magma to the cold crust, which is contact metamorphism. Contact metamorphism occurs when magma intrudes and heats the surrounding rock (in the upper crust here) through direct contact, causing changes in the rock's mineralogy and texture.
