What type of plate boundary is regional metamorphism found?
convergent
What is the most common type of 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.
Which type of metamorphosis makes non-foliated rocks?
Contact metamorphism does not often produce the foliation caused by regional metamorphism
On on what basis can metamorphic rocks be identified?
Metamorphic rocks can be identified if the rock is foliated or nonfoliated, foliating type, type of metamorphism (contact/regional), and by probable original rock. :)
Which type of metamorphism is most likely to change shale to hornfels?
Contact Metamorphism
Which type of plate boundary is regional metamorphism associated?
The type of plate boundary that regional metamorphism is associated with convergent plate boundaries. A convergent boundary is also known as a destructive plate boundary due to subduction.
What type of plate boundary is regional metamorphism found?
convergent
What is the most common type of 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.
Which type of metamorphism is associated with orogens?
Regional Metamorphism
Which type of metamorphism affects the greatest volumes of rock?
Regional metamorphism
What are the type of metamorphism to its location?
Contact - Close to a hot spot Dynamic - Along a transform boundary Impact - Near a crater Regional - At deep subduction areas
When rocks stack up on each other what type of metamorphism can occur?
Regional metamorphism can occur.
Which one is not a type of metamorphism regional contact hydrothermal or chemical?
chemical
Which type of metamorphosis makes non-foliated rocks?
Contact metamorphism does not often produce the foliation caused by regional metamorphism
What type of metamorphism contact or regional would result in a schist explain your choice?
Regional. Contact metamorphism is high temperature-low pressure so no mineral alignment occurs, only new mineral growth.
Intense deformation and metamorphism occur in regions of intense compression These areas are associated with what type of tectonic boundary?
Convergent plate boundaries.
On on what basis can metamorphic rocks be identified?
Metamorphic rocks can be identified if the rock is foliated or nonfoliated, foliating type, type of metamorphism (contact/regional), and by probable original rock. :)
