1. It occurs when rocks are buried to depths of several hundred meters and form new low-grade rocks due to the temperature increase.

2. 2. It occurs when a meteorite hits the surface of earth & transfers a lot of heat to the place of impact, causing rocks to change.

• RETOGRADE METAMORPHISM

• DYNAMIC METAMORPHISM

• SHOCK METAMORPHISM

• REGIONAL METAMORPHISM

3. 3. It takes place mostly along mid-ocean ridges, where ocean water is heated by nearby magma to form hydrothermal.

• RYCRYSTALLIZATION

• RETOGRADE METAMORPHISM

• PROGRADE METAMORPHISM

• HYDROTHERMAL METAMORPHISM

6. It takes place at approximately at 320 ºC–450 ºC and at moderate pressures.

• Low-grade metamorphism
