Ask us anythingAt which location is contact metamorphism least likely to occur?

Contact metamorphism is least likely to occur at locations where there is little to no intrusion of magma near the Earth's surface. In areas with minimal igneous activity and no heat source to drive the metamorphic changes, contact metamorphism is less likely to take place. Generally, regions located far away from tectonic plate boundaries or volcanic hotspots are less prone to experiencing contact metamorphism.
