Answer:
Regional metamorphic rocks form from other rocks (protoliths) by changes in mineralogy and texture in response to changing physical conditions (temperature, lithostatic pressure, and, in most cases, shear stress). Regional metamorphism occurs over broad areas in the lithosphere, possibly influenced by the heat supply. Regional metamorphic rock results from regional metamorphism and usually develops a flaky texture. These changes are essentially solid-state reactions, but very often a fluid phase is present, either participating in the reaction or as a reaction medium. Many regional metamorphic rocks have a chemical composition that is very similar to that of their sedimentary or igneous precursors, with the exception of removal or addition of volatiles (mainly H2O and CO2). This type of behavior is termed isochemical metamorphism. Metamorphism may also take place as a result of a change in chemical environment; this may occur by transport of elements between chemically contrasting rock types (e.g., formation of calc-silicate minerals at a quartzite–marble contact) or by circulation of fluids that dissolve some substances and precipitate others. This process of significant chemical change during metamorphism is known as allo-chemical metamorphism or metasomatism, and rocks formed in this manner are metasomatic rocks. Metasomatism is, however, mostly of local significance, and the total volume of metasomatic rocks in regional metamorphic terranes is rather minor. The distinction between metasomatism and is chemical metamorphism is also a matter of scale. On the scale of individual grains, mass transport takes place during all phase transformations; on the scale of a thin section, it is probably the rule for regional metamorphism; on the scale of a hand (sized) specimen, it can be observed frequently; and on a larger scale, it is the exception.

Answer: northern hemisphere
Explanation: I looked it up. Plus I took a test with this question and when the teacher went over the answer i got it right.
Answer: decomposition
Explanation:
1 . Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide ans water along with liberation of large amount of energy.
2. Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which a single reactant gives two or more than two products.
3. Single replacement is a type of chemical reaction in which a more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its slat solution.
4. Synthesis is a type of chemical reaction in which two or more than two reactants combine together to give a single product.
