The Austrian Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, at age 23, built his first car, the Lohner Electric Chaise. It was the worldâs first front-wheel-drive. Porscheâs second car was a hybrid, using an internal combustion engine to spin a generator that provided power to electric motors located in the wheel hubs.
burial metamorphism. (geology). A kind of regional metamorphism which affects sediments and interbedded volcanic rocks in a geosyncline without the factors of orogenesis or magmatic intrusions. 1  Facebook. 2  Twitter.
1 Metamorphism, therefore occurs at temperatures and pressures higher than 200 o C and 300 MPa. 2  Rocks can be subjected to these higher temperatures and pressures as they are buried deeper in the Earth. 3  Such burial usually takes place as a result of tectonic processes such as continental collisions or subduction.he grade of metamorphism increases in all directions toward the intrusion. Because the temperature contrast between the surrounding rock and the intruded magma is larger at shallow levels in the crust where pressure is low, contact metamorphism is often referred to as high temperature, low pressure metamorphism.
