Metamorphism in a sentence

Metamorphism meaning

  1. The process by which rocks are changed into other forms by the application of heat and/or pressure.
  2. The process by which insects develop through life stages, for example, those of embryo, larva, pupa and imago. The life cycle of the butterfly is one of complete metamorphosis, in which the embryo grows within the egg, hatches into the larval stage caterpillar, enters the pupal stage within its chrysalis, and finally emerges as an adult butterfly imago.
  3. Any dramatic change from one thing to another

Corpus analysis for Metamorphism

  • In this selection, "metamorphism" usually appears near the end of the sentence. The average example has 22.1 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
  • Around the word, contact, basalt, instant, may, basalt and contact stand out and add context to how "metamorphism" is used.
  • Recognizable usage signals include a contact metamorphism aureole and by burial metamorphism or diagenesis. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
  • By corpus frequency, "metamorphism" sits close to words such as aal, aalto and aardvark, which helps place it inside the broader word index.
