Where can you locate sedimentary metamorphic and igneous rocks in a plate boundary?

At a convergent plate boundary, where you get partial melting of the subducting slab. This partial melt rises and pools, forming a magma chamber. When a magma chamber crystallises, the interior will be igneous (probably felsic/ acidic in composition), around the igneous intrusion you will get contact metamorphosed sediments creating a metamorphic aureole, and at the accretion zone you get the accretionary wedge, which is basically sediment which has been scraped off the subduction oceanic slab.

What is the difference between metamorphic grade and metamorphic facies?
A metamorphic grade takes into account only the change in temperature while a metamorphic facies is more specific by showing the change in temperature in relation to the change in pressure and depth. There are three grades: low (250°C-400°C), intermediate (400°C-600°C) and high (above 600°C). Although there are many facies, the major ones are zeolite, hornfels, greenschist, amphibolite, blueschist, eclogite, and granulite. This allows for geologist to easily locate where a metamorphic rock was formed.
