Can deformation occur without metamorphism? (; sorry you should put the definitions in the description box when you're dealing with big words haha.
Convergent plate boundaries.
Certainly, yes.
Regional metamorphism can occur.
everything
Dynamic
Convergent plate boundaries.
Heating, pressurization, deformation, recrystallization, and metamorphism.
Certainly, yes.
Regional metamorphism can occur.
Dynamic Metamorphism >.<
Contact metamorphism can occur in this scenario.
everything
1. Weathering. 2. Metamorphism. 3. Deformation. 4. Erosion.

Yes they do occur under volcanoes
Contact metamorphism occurs typically around intrusive igneous rocks as a result of the temperature increase caused by the intrusion of magma into cooler country rock. The area surrounding the intrusion where the contact metamorphism effects are present is called the metamorphic aureole. Contact metamorphic rocks are usually known ashornfels. Rocks formed by contact metamorphism may not present signs of strong deformation and are often fine-grained.
For metamorphism of rock to occur temperature and pressure must increase. Rocks created in this manner are called metamorphic rocks.
