Can deformation occur without metamorphism? (; sorry you should put the definitions in the description box when you're dealing with big words haha.

Intense deformation and metamorphism occur in regions of intense compression These areas are associated with what type of tectonic boundary?
Convergent plate boundaries.
During metamorphism the material undergoing deformation remains a solid?
Certainly, yes.
When rocks stack up on each other what type of metamorphism can occur?
Regional metamorphism can occur.
What process can occur during metamorphism?
everything
What metamorphism may occur when there is direct pressure on a rock?
Dynamic
Intense deformation and metamorphism occur in regions of intense compression These areas are associated with what type of tectonic boundary?
Convergent plate boundaries.
What are the processes involve in the formation of rocks?
Heating, pressurization, deformation, recrystallization, and metamorphism.
During metamorphism the material undergoing deformation remains a solid?
Certainly, yes.
When rocks stack up on each other what type of metamorphism can occur?
Regional metamorphism can occur.
Which type of metamorphism is most likely to occur along the fault line?
Dynamic Metamorphism >.<
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma?
Contact metamorphism can occur in this scenario.
What process can occur during metamorphism?
everything
What 4 processes change rock inside the earth?
1. Weathering. 2. Metamorphism. 3. Deformation. 4. Erosion.
What has the author Elizabeth A Downie written?
Elizabeth A. Downie has written: 'Structure and metamorphism in the Cavendish area, north end of the Chester dome, Southeastern Vermont' -- subject(s): Rock deformation, Metamorphism (Geology)
Does regional metamorphism occur under volcanoes?
Yes they do occur under volcanoes
Where does contact (prograde) occur?
Contact metamorphism occurs typically around intrusive igneous rocks as a result of the temperature increase caused by the intrusion of magma into cooler country rock. The area surrounding the intrusion where the contact metamorphism effects are present is called the metamorphic aureole. Contact metamorphic rocks are usually known ashornfels. Rocks formed by contact metamorphism may not present signs of strong deformation and are often fine-grained.
What 2 things must increase for metamorphism to occur?
For metamorphism of rock to occur temperature and pressure must increase. Rocks created in this manner are called metamorphic rocks.
