What is the difference between contact and metamorphism?

Contact metamorphism is metamorphism that happens when preexisting rock comes in contact with a molten rock or magma and it melts locally.Regional metamorphism is metamorphism happens when two plates collide the plate that subducts can melt by the heated area.

Would contact metamorphism or regional metamorphism be a product of 2 plates colliding?

Two plates colliding will generate both regional and contact metamorphism. The point of contact would have contact metamorphism while surrounding parts would be regionally metamophrsed.


How is contact metamorphism different. from regional metamorphism?

contact metamorphism is what happens when something is really hot. regional metamorphism on the other hand involves much larger packages of rocks.
