Contact Metamorphism

The topic of contact metamorphism is very broad, thus, this report will only focus on the factors which affect the process of contact metamorphism and review the various types of contact metamorphism. The igneous intrusion near Horseshoe Canyon in Idaho will also be considered in this report. The factors involved within the process of contact metamorphism include: the temperature of the igneous intrusion, the water content at the intrusion, the variety of countryrock, and the size of the intrusion. The process of contact metamorphism occurs mainly due to the high temperatures of intrusive igneous bodies which surround local countryrock. The exertion of pressure is a minimal factor in contact metamorphism compared to regionally metamorphosed rocks.
