Regional Metamorphism

Regional Metamorphism is a large-scale geological process involving the transformation of pre-existing rocks through elevated temperatures, directed pressure, and chemically active fluids over extensive crustal regions, typically associated with tectonic forces such as continental collision or subduction, distinguishing it from localized or contact metamorphic processes.
