Contact metamorphism occurs locally, next to igneous intrusions and along fractures that were in contact with hydrothermal fluids. Regional metamorphism occurs over very large areas, such as deep within the cores of rising mountain ranges, and generally occurs with the folding of rock layers. Both result in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
Contact metamorphism is the process of forming rocks from the heat of magma intrusion. Regional metamorphism, meanwhile, is the process of forming rocks by pressure and heat at plate boundaries.
Very low grade regional metamorphism.
contact :)
contact metamorphism is what happens when something is really hot. regional metamorphism on the other hand involves much larger packages of rocks.
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.

contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
contact and regional metamorphic are similar because both of them happen cause of hot heat and pressure which make the rock metamorphic

Burial metamorphism differs from regional and contact metamorphism in that it is the result of rocks being buried deeper into the earth's crust through tectonic movements.
