Contact metamorphism is least likely to occur in areas far from igneous intrusions, such as deep sedimentary basins or regions with low geothermal gradients. In these locations, the heat and pressure from nearby molten rock are minimal, preventing significant alteration of the surrounding rock. Additionally, areas dominated by water-saturated sediments can also limit the effects of contact metamorphism.
