Regional metamorphism is a type of metamorphism in which the minerals and the textures of the rocks are changed or altered due to the effect of pressure and heat over a wide area or region.

This type of metamorphism often results in metamorphic rocks that are strongly foliated.

Metamorphism usually occurs in the folds of thrust mountain belts.

Answer: You would most likely find regional metamorphism associated with a mountain belt.
