Question

1. what type of metamorphism forms mountain ranges?

○ contact
○ heat
○ intrusive
○ regional

Explanation:

Regional metamorphism occurs over large geographic areas due to the intense pressure and heat generated by tectonic plate collisions, which are the geological processes that form mountain ranges. The other options do not operate on the large scale needed to create mountain ranges: contact metamorphism is localized around magma intrusions, heat alone is a factor not a metamorphism type, and intrusive refers to igneous rock formation, not metamorphism linked to mountain building.

Answer:

D. regional
