What processes found at convergent boundary will help form the following rocks?

At a convergent boundary, the processes of subduction, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, can lead to the formation of metamorphic rocks such as schist and gneiss. Additionally, the intense heat and pressure generated by the collision of two plates can cause the melting of rocks, leading to the formation of igneous rocks like granite.
