El metamorfismo de contacto es la consecuencia de una subida de magma y sucede a la intrusión y solidificación de éste en las cavidades de la roca encajante. Ésta, tras haberse calentado sobremanera en presencia de vapor de agua y de gases que la impregnan, sufre una modificación en un espesor más o menos grande, si bien a veces se limita a unos centímetros solamente, en la superficie de contacto. 3, record 1, Spanish, - metamorfismo%20de%20contacto
