Answer:

Foiliation

Explanation:

Metamorphism is the transformation in the existing rock type and means a change in the form when the rocks are subjected to changes in heat and pressure.

Regional metamorphism is also called dynamic metamorphism and foliation occurs when a rock s shortened along the axis during recrystallization. Such as mica, the foliated rocks is a product of the stress that deforms the rocks along the plane.
