Regions where high-grade metamorphic rocks are exposed at the Earth's surface (such as New England and the Canadian Shield) are: areas undergoing dynamothermal metamorphism in current continental collision zones O the exposed (exhumed) roots of former collisional mountain belts remnants of high-P, low-T blueschist metamorphism in subduction zones sutured onto continental margins O crustal rocks exposed in horsts in continental extension zones O products of burial metamorphism in deep sedimentary basins in cratonic platforms
