1. Igneous Intrusion

   Linked via "foliation"

   Discordant intrusions cut across the pre-existing structures of the host rock/), indicating forceful intrusion where the magma propagates through fractures or planes of weakness.
   Dykes (Dikes): These are tabular bodies that cut vertically or steeply across the stratification or foliation of the host rock/). Dykes (Dikes)/) are crucial indicators of regional stress fields, often…

   Metamorphic Rocks
   Metamorphic rocks result from the transformation of pre-existing igneous, sedimentary, or even other metamorphic rocks in response to significant changes in temperature, pressure, and chemically active fluids, without complete melting. This process often induces recrystallization and the development of a preferred mineral orientation known as foliation.
   The degree of metamorphism is often quantified using the concept of "Thermal Inversion Saturation"…
