regionalmetamorfe
Regional metamorphism is a geological process that transforms existing rocks over large areas due to changes in temperature and pressure. Unlike contact metamorphism, which is localized around igneous intrusions, regional metamorphism affects vast tracts of the Earth's crust. This process is typically associated with convergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide.
The heat and pressure involved in regional metamorphism are generated by the immense forces and burial depths
The degree of metamorphism, or metamorphic grade, can vary within a regional metamorphic event. Rocks closer
Regional metamorphic rocks are found in many mountain ranges around the world, serving as important indicators
