dynamothermal metamorphism

A common type of metamorphism involving the effects of directed pressures and shearing stress as well as a wide range of confining pressures and temperatures. It is related both geographically and genetically to large orogenic belts, and hence is regional in character. Compare: regional metamorphism; dynamic metamorphism.
