Contact Metamorphism

Contact Metamorphism is a type of metamorphic process in which rocks undergo mineralogical and textural changes due to elevated temperature and chemically active fluids from nearby intrusions of plutonic magma, typically occurring in the surrounding country rock within a localized thermal aureole.
