Regional metamorphism is metamorphism that occurs over broad areas of the crust. Most regionally metamorphosed rocks occur in areas that have undergone deformation during an orogenic event resulting in mountain belts that have since been eroded to expose the metamorphic rocks.

OBS

Sometimes rocks are metamorphosed over large areas that are the size of many states or even several countries. This is called regional metamorphism.
