Where does metamorphism take place?

At great depths

  -With increasing depth into the earth, pressure increases and so does temperature

At Convergent Plate Boundaries

  -Continent collisions and even subduction zones are areas of intense pressure and heat, as plates are colliding. 

Near igneous intrusions

  -Near magma bodies, temperatures are very high. This is enough to cause metamorphism in some places.
