Contact metamorphic zone at the foot of Mt. Watamuki

The contact metamorphic zone displays transformed rocks with modified mineral compositions due to intense heat from ancient magmatic intrusions near Mount Watamuki.

The geological formation developed through millions of years of tectonic activity, resulting in magma intrusions that altered the surrounding rock structures.

The metamorphic zone functions as an educational site where students and researchers examine geological processes and rock transformations in natural settings.

Visitors require sturdy hiking boots and weather-appropriate clothing to navigate the uneven terrain and varying temperatures in the mountainous environment.

The site exhibits clear boundaries between metamorphosed and unaltered rocks, revealing distinct color and texture variations that demonstrate geological transformation processes.
