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).

No. Metamorphic rock froms from processes that take place in the solid state. Rocks that form from molten material are igneous.

Most metamorphic processes take place where?

Most metamorphic processes take place deep within the Earth's crust or upper mantle, typically at depths between 10 and 50 kilometers. These processes are driven by heat, pressure, and chemical reactions that transform existing rocks into new types of rocks without completely melting them. Metamorphism often occurs at convergent plate boundaries where tectonic forces cause intense heat and pressure.
