... The area between two plates colliding is where regional metamorphism occurs, with heat and pressure. Contact metamorphism occurs where the heat of lava or magma touches and changes existing rock. All foliated rocks are made by regional metamorphism because the pressure causes minerals to align. ...

Clastic rock
Clastic rocks are composed of fragments, or clasts, of pre-existing minerals and rock. A clast is a fragment of geological detritus, chunks and smaller grains of rock broken off other rocks by physical weathering. Geologists use the term clastic with reference to sedimentary rocks as well as to particles in sediment transport whether in suspension or as bed load, and in sediment deposits.
