Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Regional metamorphism, also known as dynamothermal metamorphism, is the result of pressure and heat applied over a large area of rock, usually occurring within the Earth's crust. It differs from thermal metamorphism, which occurs due to contact with a high-temperature igneous intrusion, and occurs in a variety of geological settings, including along continental margins. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect.
