make it simple

Answer 1

make it sound like a 6th grader

Answer 2

Tectonic plates can push sedimentary rocks deep into the Earth's crust, increasing pressure and temperature. This process transforms the sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks by altering their mineral structure and composition.

Answer 3

Tectonic plates can push sedimentary rocks down into the Earth, where it gets really hot and squished. This heat and pressure change the rocks, turning them into a new type called metamorphic rocks!
