When rocks stack up on each other what type of metamorphism can occur?
Regional metamorphism can occur.
When rocks grind and squeeze past each other what metamorphism can occur.?
Regional
What characteristic does large-scale folding of rocks during the process of mountain building have?
Large scale folding rocks are a characteristic of regional metamorphism. Regional metamorphism will occur during the process of building mountains.
Is soapstone regional or contact metamorphism?
Very low grade regional metamorphism.
Describe how contact metamorphism is 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.

Does regional metamorphism occur under volcanoes?
Yes they do occur under volcanoes
Where does regional metamorphism most commonly occur?
at convergent plate boundries
