Regional metamorphism requires heat and __________.
A)pressure
B)water
C)continental crust
D)plate divergence

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Regional metamorphism occurs when rocks are subjected to high pressure and temperature, usually due to tectonic activity. Although some amount of water may be involved, pressure is the primary factor that distinguishes regional metamorphism from other types of metamorphism. Continental crust and plate divergence are not necessary for regional metamorphism to occur.
