Regional Metamorphism

Caused by extreme pressure and heat.Happens over wide “regions”.

Contact Metamorphism

Caused by contact with extreme heat.

Meta. rocks will often have foliation or a distorted structure.

Distorted Structure

Foliation is a “grain” to the rock.

Types of Foliation:

Gneissic Foliation- minerals are squished into bands.

“Zebra Stripes”

Schistose foliation- minerals have been squashed into flakes of mica.
