The changes to the rock must occur in solid form. The process must take place underground. The parent rock must be in solid form.

Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma?
Contact metamorphism can occur in this scenario.
Where does regional metamorphism most commonly occur?
at convergent plate boundries
When molten igneous material intrudes into rock what metamorphism can occur.?
contact
What plate tectonic settings does regional metamorphism occur?
Destructive plate boundaries.
Why do rocks have to be in the mantle to change to a metamorphic rock?
The short answer is that they don't! For metamorphism to occur rocks require either heat, pressure or a combination of the two. Both of these conditions occur together in the mantle, however they can occur in other places to. Such as in the rocks around igneous intrusions (high temperatures and low to moderate pressures) which cause contact metamorphism. It can also occur in zones of high tectonic stress (such as continental collision zones where mountains are being built where there is a relatively low temperature by mantle standards but very high pressure) which causes regional metamorphism. Finally in zones characterised by very high strains (e.g. the rocks in very close proximity to fault zones) metamorphism can occur. The type depends on the strain rate and the depth (which affects the pressure and temperature). This type of metamorphism is known as dynamic metamorphism). All the above conditions (and a number of others) can cause metamorphism to occur in sections of the earth outside the mantle. The differing types of metamorphism at differing temperatures and pressures create differing assemblages of minerals. These are known as metamorphic facies. Please see the related links for more information.
What must be present for metamorphism to occur?
The changes to the rock must occur in solid form.
What 2 things must increase for metamorphism to occur?
For metamorphism of rock to occur temperature and pressure must increase. Rocks created in this manner are called metamorphic rocks.
What happen for metamorphism to occur?
the parent rock must be in solid form
When rocks stack up on each other what type of metamorphism can occur?
Regional metamorphism can occur.
Which type of metamorphism is most likely to occur along the fault line?
Dynamic Metamorphism >.<
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma?
Contact metamorphism can occur in this scenario.
What process can occur during metamorphism?
everything
Does regional metamorphism occur under volcanoes?
Yes they do occur under volcanoes
What has to happen for metamorphism occur?
Heat and high pressure
Can metamorphism occur without deformation?
Can deformation occur without metamorphism? (; sorry you should put the definitions in the description box when you're dealing with big words haha.
Metamorphism is commonly associated with mountain building?
true
What metamorphism may occur when there is direct pressure on a rock?
Dynamic
