Regional Metamorphism
Dynamic Metamorphism >.<
Contact metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma. This type of metamorphism happens when hot magma comes into contact with existing rock, causing the rock to undergo changes in mineralogy and texture due to the heat and pressure.
The most common type of metamorphism is regional metamorphism, which occurs over large areas typically associated with tectonic plate boundaries. This type of metamorphism involves high pressure and temperature conditions, leading to the formation of minerals like mica, quartz, and feldspar in rocks.
Regional metamorphism affects the greatest volumes of rock. This type of metamorphism occurs over a large area and at significant depths within the Earth's crust, leading to the alteration of extensive rock formations.
None.
Contact metamorphism is the type of rock metamorphism where heat is the dominant factor. This occurs when rocks come into contact with a heat source, such as magma, causing them to recrystallize and change without melting.
Pro-
Contact metamorphism does not often produce the foliation caused by regional metamorphism
Very quick (depending on one's definition) metamorphism of rock would only occur under extreme and near instantaneous changes to a rock's environment. An example would be the effects on surface rock from a large meteor impact, with the metamorphism occuring from the accompanying high temperature and pressure.
