Which type of rock would you expect to exist deep in the Earth's crust?
You would expect to find igneous or metamorphic rocks, depending on the depth.
Why would you not expect to find a metamorphic rock in the recesses of the earth?
You WOULD expect to find metamorphic rocks in the recesses (deep layers) of the Earth's crust. But not in the mantle or core. Metamorphic means changed - and rocks - either sedimentary or igneous - get changed by the heat and pressures found in the deep crust.
Would you expect to find a folded mountain range at a mid-ocean ridge?
You would expect to find a fold mountain range at a convergent or collision boundary rather than at a divergent boundary such as a mid ocean ridge.
How would metamorphic rock change into a new metamorphic rock?

Why would you expect a metamorphic rock to form at a temperature lower than a melting point rock?
Metamorphic rocks form by rocks being changed while still in the solid state. If the temperature of a rock exceeds its melting point, it will melt and any rock that forms as a result will be considered igneous.

Why would you expect a metamorphic rock to form at a temperature lower then the melting point of rock?
If the rock melts the resulting rock type would be igneous rather than metamorphic.

You would expect to find a fold mountain range at a convergent or collision boundary rather than at a divergent boundary such as a mid ocean ridge.
Would you expect to find dinosaur bone in a metamorphic rock like schist explain?
no, because the extreme heat that metamorphic rocks must undergo to form would have burned the dinosaur fossil, or any fossil!
What geologic features would you expect to find at a transform fault boundary?
I don´t know
What type of mountain would you expect to find at a convergent boundary involving two oceanic plates?
Volcanic mountain
What type of climate would you expect to find in the middle east?
Comfortable
Why would you expect a metamorphic form at a temperature lower than the melting point of a rock?
if rock melts it will form magma, which leads to the formation of igneous rocks
What causes foliation on a metamorphic rock under what cirumstances would you expect this to happen?
Foliation is created when pressure pushes different parts of the rock in different directions.
