Using one to two

Question

sentences, explain how the
movement of tectonic
plates helps turn
sedimentary rocks into
metamorphic rocks.

Answer 1

The movement of tectonic plates can cause sedimentary rocks to be subjected to increased pressure and temperature through processes such as subduction or continental collision, leading to their transformation into metamorphic rocks through recrystallization and foliation. This geological activity can alter the mineral composition and texture of the original sedimentary rock.
