How would you be able to immediately tell whether a shale parent rock had been subjected to either intermediate-grade contact metamorphism or intermediate-grade mountain belt (regional) metamorphism?

On the basis of heat and pressure the rock undergoes transformation.

Explanation:

The contact metamorphism occurs when magma comes into contact with the already existing body of rocks. Regional metamorphism occurs in wider areas of earths crust. It occurs in areas where the rocks have undergone deformation at time of orogenetic events. Metamorphic grades refers to the changes in the processing of rocks form low to high grade.  The shale rocks are metamorphized under intense heat and pressure to form slate thereby increase in the grade quality. If the rocks are subjected to contact metamorphism then slate is formed and if its regional metamorphism then phyllite, then schist, and finally, gneiss are formed.

The latin america and caribbean (lac) region encompasses countries with great environmental issues. the southern portion of central america to the caribbean's part, including south america presses the major environmental issues like deforestation and   habitat subsistence. the requirement of the whole country and the pressure of export is being done by this region as it possess the soil with highest fertility rate and maximum strength which could us in modifying the various technology for the humankind. because of deforestation, we take animal shelters away from them, so the major issue occurs again which we known as "habitat subsistence". government has to set the target according to the capacity of a certain region which would not affect the environment. then, businesses and organizations have to understand their roles and need to divide the task into several groups (one for each, according to their natural capacity), individuals can the government or statuary body by just following their guidelines and never harm or exploit the environment for our own use.i really hope this you out!
