6. what is the primary method of heat transfer through solid rock during contact metamorphism? 1) advection 2) convection 3) absorption 4) conduction

Answer

Brief Explanations:

Contact metamorphism occurs when a body of magma intrudes into surrounding rocks. Heat transfer in solid - rock during contact metamorphism is mainly by conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material by direct molecular collisions. Advection involves the transfer of heat by the bulk movement of a fluid. Convection is a type of heat transfer in fluids due to density differences caused by temperature variations. Absorption is not the main heat - transfer mechanism in this context.

Answer:

  1. conduction
