Regional metamorphism is associated with what boundary?
convergent plate boundaries
Intense deformation and metamorphism occur in regions of intense compression These areas are associated with what type of tectonic boundary?
Convergent plate boundaries.
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.
At what four plate boundary types does metamorphism occur?
transform, divergent, convergent, and hot spots
The Hawaiian islands has what type of plate boundary?
it is not associated with any plate boundries
Regional metamorphism is associated with what boundary?
convergent plate boundaries
What type of plate boundary is regional metamorphism found?
convergent
What is the most common type of metamorphism?
The most common type of land metamorphism is Regional metamorphism. The most common rocks are slates, schists, and gneisses. This occurs within the folds of mountain belts and cratonic areas.
Intense deformation and metamorphism occur in regions of intense compression These areas are associated with what type of tectonic boundary?
Convergent plate boundaries.
What plate tectonic settings does regional metamorphism occur?
Destructive plate boundaries.
Ore bodies at divergent plate boundaries can be created through what contact metamorphism regional metamorphism hydrothermal process?
Contact metamorphism
What plate boundary is not associated with volcanoes?
A transform plate boundary
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.

Where does regional metamorphism most commonly occur?
at convergent plate boundries
What plate boundary is associated with volcano Yellowstone caldera?
The Yellowstone caldera is associated with a hot spot, not a plate boundary.
Is Krakatoa associated with a specific plate boundary?
Yes. It is on the boundary between the Indian Plate, and the Eurasian Plate.
