________ metamorphism is responsible for the emplacement of metallic ore veins.
A)Contact
B)Burial
C)Hydrothermal
D)Subduction zone

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrothermal metamorphism involves the circulation of hot fluids through rocks, which can deposit minerals and metals in veins. This process is commonly associated with metallic ore deposits. Contact metamorphism (A) occurs when rocks are altered by heat from a nearby igneous intrusion, but is not typically associated with metallic ore veins. Burial metamorphism (B) occurs when rocks are buried and subjected to increased pressure and temperature, but does not typically result in metallic ore deposits. Subduction zone metamorphism (D) occurs at convergent plate boundaries and is characterized by high pressure and low to moderate temperatures, but is also not typically associated with metallic ore veins.
