A zone of contact metamorphism is called an aureole.
Sedimentary rocks are most likely to form in earthquake zones because they are easily broken, shifted, and compacted by the tectonic forces associated with earthquakes. These rocks can be fractured and deformed as a result of the intense pressure and movement during seismic events.
In contact metamorphism - a nearby magma melt. In regional metamorphism - the geothermal gradient from the mantle/core In mylonites, the heat of friction across the fault plane. In astroblemes, the kinetic energy of the impactor. -------------------------------- The origin of the heat that creates metamorphic rock can be from friction caused by colliding plates, but by far the vast majority of the heat has originated in Earth's interior, caused by radioactive decay, remnant heat from Earth's formation, and pressure.
A sedimentary rock can change from that to a metamorphic rock then into an Igneous rock. e.g. Mudstone (sedimentary) is in the Zone of Diagenesis, when it is subjected to regional metamorphism (in mountain belts) it changes from a mudstone to a slate (low grade) then to a Phillite (medium grade) then a Schist (medium) then a gneiss (high grade) then into a Milonite (high grade) then once past the line of partial melting it has so much pressure and so much temperature that it turns into an Igneos rock. This is the basic explanation of this. If you want to know more, just ask me.Sedimentary rocks are changed into metamorphic by being buried deep enough that the heat and pressure alter their text, mineralogy, or other characteristics.
Sedimentary rock and igneous rock would most likely have a zone of contact metamorphism between them. When molten magma intrudes into the surrounding rock, the heat and fluids released can alter the mineral composition of the adjacent rocks, leading to contact metamorphism.

Contact metamorphism generally occurs relatively close to the surface in a zone of contact between an intruding magma body and the country rock, which could be a sedimentary, igneous, or previously metamorphosed rock. Hornfels is a common resultant contact metamorphic rock.
The contact metamorphism process occurs when magma intrudes into surrounding rock, causing the adjacent rock to be heated and recrystallize into a metamorphic rock. The heat and pressure from the magma alter the mineral composition and texture of the surrounding rock, resulting in the creation of a metamorphic rock zone around the magma.
Gneiss is a Plutonic metamorphic rock which is formed under high pressure and temperature condition at Katazone or Lower Zone.
Iron.
Igneous for sure. Also metamorphic.

It can be weathered. It can also be subjected to heat and/or pressure inside the earth and become a metamorphic rock, e.g. limestone can be changed to marble. If an oceanic tectonic plate is buried in a subduction zone it may melt to magma.
