Changes that occur over large scale areas of rock are most likely due to contact metamorphism.
nope. regional metamorphism.
Contact metamorphism is when a rock is metamorphosed by contact with magma and therefore undergoes metamorphism. As you can imagine, this type of metamorphism only happens around the magma that has intruded and not over a large area.
