Most metamorphism takes place deep underground, where high heat and pressure change the rocks, since both increase with depth.

Contact Metamorphism
The most common type of land metamorphism is Regional metamorphism. The most common rocks are slates, schists, and gneisses. This occurs within the folds of mountain belts and cratonic areas.
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
Two factors that contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks are pressure and temperature.
It is called contact metamorphism.

Deep underground from heat and pressure.

Metamorphism can take place in a solid state. The metamorphism can take place with or without any types of fluid activity, although, the majority is done with fluid activity.
The high grade metamorphism refers to the metamorphism that takes place at temperatures that are greater than 320 degree Celsius. The high grade metamorphism also takes place at relatively high pressure.
Heat is the most efficient agent of metamorphism.
Metamorphism is the change in the structure or composition of rocks. The most important agents of metamorphism are heat and pressure.
Dynamic Metamorphism >.<
•Geochemical, physical, and mineralogic (textural) changes that take place after burial of sediment -Not weathering -Not metamorphism/metasomatism
