- Type 8°56'22.3"N 126°55'54.3"E in the search bar of Google Earth. Zoom out to an eye altitude (Camera) of ~1700 miles. What type of metamorphism is likely in this area
- shock metamorphism
- contact metamorphism
- regional metamorphism
- fault zone metamorphism
- burial metamorphism
- The agents of metamorphism in this region, are most likely:
- chemically reactive fluids
- Temperature
- Pressure
- some combination of the agents of metamorphism
- As a metamorphic petrologist, what evidence would you look for to determine the metamorphism type? Why?

- shock metamorphism
- contact metamorphism
- regional metamorphism
- fault zone metamorphism
