Question

1. minerals that crystallize at higher temperatures as a result of contact metamorphism tend to be found near

a. coal deposits
b. bodies of water
c. coral reefs
d. igneous intrusions

Explanation:

Contact metamorphism occurs when rocks are heated by the intrusion of magma. Igneous intrusions are sources of high - temperature magma. Minerals that crystallize at higher temperatures due to contact metamorphism are likely to be found near these heat sources. Coal deposits, bodies of water, and coral reefs are not associated with the high - temperature conditions of contact metamorphism.

Answer:

D. Igneous intrusions
