using one to two sentences explain how the movement of tectonic plates helps turn sedimentary rock into metamorphic rocks. (2point)

Answer 1

The movement of tectonic plates causes immense pressure and heat to build up in sedimentary rocks, often due to subduction or continental collision, which facilitates the recrystallization of minerals and transforms them into metamorphic rocks. This process, known as metamorphism, alters the rock's structure and composition without melting it.
