Question

Regional metamorphism takes place due to ______.

Options

• High temperature

• High Pressure

• Both high temperature and high pressure

• None of them

Answer 1

Regional metamorphism takes place due to both high temperature and high pressure.

Explanation:

Regional metamorphism occurs when rocks are buried deep inside the earth and are subjected to both high temperature and high pressure, causing changes in their mineral structure and texture. Thus, both high temperature and high pressure are responsible for regional metamorphism.
