Homework Answers
Regional metamorphism occur Nazca plate subduction zone,Appalachian Mountains, Himalayas.
Reason -The phenomenon like regional metamorphism requires convergent plate boundaries where subduction takes place, so that 10 to 20 km thick burial of sediments gives rise to regional metamorphism because of high temperature and pressure.
In convergent boundaries compressive force predominant so pressure tends to be high but in divergent boundaries releasing force tension forces acts which releases stresses.
Subduction of large plate provides large area of influence but in other case it isn't possible to provide that much influence.

Why is the San Andreas fault “primarily” a transform plate boundary? a) the San Andreas fault never extends upwards as far as the ground surface b) it sometimes can change direction c) it lies on a plate which currently (geologically speaking) is not in motion d) it contains a couple of angular bends where stress accumulates and creates a network of small but deadly faults and tectonic uplift often occurs
