Describe the occurrence of metamorphism along an oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary What will be an ideal response?


Metamorphic rocks formed near Earth's surface along an oceanic-continental convergent plate

descends, it is subjected to increasingly higher temperatures and pressures that result in higher-grade
metamorphism
