Deep underground from heat and pressure.
Most metamorphism takes place deep underground, where high heat and pressure change the rocks, since both increase with depth.

a volcano ?
In the nucleus
Metamorphism can take place in a solid state. The metamorphism can take place with or without any types of fluid activity, although, the majority is done with fluid activity.
yes
A few Kilometers below earths surface .
Precipitation from a fluid like H2O or CO2. This can take place within the Earth by hydrothermal processes, diagenesis, and metamorphism, and at or near the Earth's surface as a result of evaporation, weathering, or biological activity.Sublimation from a vapor. This process is somewhat more rare, but can take place at a volcanic vent, or deep in space where the pressure is near vacuum.Crystallization from a liquid. This takes place during crystallization of molten rock (magma) either below or at the Earth's surface.Solid - Solid reactions. This process involves minerals reacting with other minerals in the solid state to produce one or more new minerals. Such processes take place during metamorphism and diagenesis due to changing temperature and pressure conditions.
Metamorphic processes or Metamorphism can takes place anywhere, be it above or below the Earths surface, as long as their is a change in the physicochemical (structural and minerological) conditions different from that under which the rocks were originally formed. And this could be as a result of adjustment of solid rocks to increased temperature, pressure and/or chemical activities (chemically active fluids).

•Geochemical, physical, and mineralogic (textural) changes that take place after burial of sediment -Not weathering -Not metamorphism/metasomatism
