Regional metamorphism is a widespread precess involving both heat and directed pressure, and is involved in things like mountain building and activity deep with in the core. Contact metamorphism is local processes involving low to moderate pressure and high temperature. This type is adjacent to igneous intrusion and along fractures in contact with hydrothermal (hot!) fluids at mid-ocean ridges.

Is soapstone regional or contact metamorphism?
Very low grade regional metamorphism.
Is marble contact or regional metamorphism?
contact :)
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.
Would contact metamorphism or regional metamorphism be a product of 2 plates colliding?
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.
Compare and contrast contact metamorphism and regional metamorphism?
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.
What are the 4 types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism

How does Burial metamorphism differ from Regional and Contact metamorphism?
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.

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.
