Regional Metamorphism Plate Boundaries Geology

Overview

1. Briefly outline how regional metamorphism is related to plate boundaries? Are certain types of metamorphic rocks indicative of particular plate boundaries or tectonic settings?
2. Give three examples of such rocks and indicate the tectonic environment they represent?
3. Name the parent rocks of your three (3) examples?

Here is a very helpful interactive website discussing the different movements of plate boundaries.
