A lava flow baking a rock is an example of: contact metamorphism

Contact metamorphism is a form of metamorphism that CHANGES the texture of the rock.When the lava makes contact with the rock, the structural particle bond that binds the rocks is destroyed because of the extreme heat. This will change the texture of the rock and make it appear baked.
