The movement of tectonic plates can cause intense pressure and temperature changes as plates collide or subduct, resulting in the transformation of sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks through processes such as recrystallization and foliation. This geological activity facilitates the conditions necessary for metamorphism, allowing minerals within sedimentary rocks to realign and form new metamorphic structures.
