FTP, name this type of metamorphism produced by the transfer of heat from an intrusive igneous body, which usually operates on a more limited scale than either burial or regional metamorphism.
One progression of reactions associated with this process is Bowen's decarbonation series. Poikilitic andalusite is common in pelitic units affected by it, and minerals like monticellite and periclase may not form by any other process. Its most severe form is associated with the sanidinite facies, and valuable skarn deposits depend on its metasomatic variety, which may involve one or more convection cells. Large-scale occurrences of it are identified by the presence of an elliptical aureole which may surround a stock or batholith.
