The geometry of plastic strains of regional metamorphic rocks is divided into two types: one is the uniaxial extension strain (prolate) and the other the biaxial shortening strain (oblate) from the plane strain/simple shear to the uniaxial shortening geometry. The uniaxial extension geometry is found in deformation of metamorphic rocks of the Sambagawa, Ryoke, Kamuikotan and Franciscan belts, while the biaxial type is seen in deformation of the Shimanto, the Alpine, the Appalachian, and the Caledonian metamorphic rocks.The classification of the metamorphic belts by means of strain geometry and strain path is independent of the metamorphic facies series. The difference in strain geometry of metamorphic belts is responsible mainly for the tectonic stress regime in metamorphism. It is suggested that the biaxial type belongs to the collision-type orogeny and the uniaxial type to the Cordilleran-type orogeny.
