magma comes in contact with parent magma comes in contact with parent rock. Regional metamorphism occurs rock. Regional metamorphism occurs over a much larger area and results from over a much larger area and results from increases in pressure and temperature increases in pressure and temperature and chemical fluids.and chemical fluids.
