Hyaloclastite  and Migmatite

1 Definition
1.1 Definition
Hyaloclastite is an aggregate of fine, glassy debris formed by the sudden contact of hot, coherent magma and cold water or water-saturated sediment
Migmatite is typically a granitic rock within a metamorphic host rock which is composed of two intermingled but distinguishable components

5.1 Formation
Hyaloclastite is a type of Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of lava or magma.
Migmatites form by high temperature regional and thermal metamorphism of protolith rocks where rocks melt partially due to high temperature.
