Regional Metamorphism
It is called contact metamorphism.
Regional metamorphism is the creation of metamorphic rock from large geographically significant processes like plate tectonics. Contact metamorphism is the creation of metamorphic rock from the proximity of an existing rock to a heat source provided by a plutonic intrusion.

Rocks formed from thermal metamorphism are very hard. An example is hornfels. Just search thermal metamorphism and/or hornfels and you'll see some nice explanations on the web.
Slate is a metamorphic rock which originated typically as a shale, or mudstone/claystone, and is usually associated with Regional Metamorphism (intense pressure with heat). This can be due to overburden, continental collision or other large scale compressional geological processes.
The type of plate boundary that regional metamorphism is associated with convergent plate boundaries. A convergent boundary is also known as a destructive plate boundary due to subduction.
No Slate is associated with a low-grade metamorphism
Staurolite is typically associated with metamorphism, and can in fact be used to learn at what temperature, depth, and pressure the rock underwent metamorphism.

Contact Metamorphism
Contact metamorphism can occur in this scenario.
Regional metamorphism can occur.
