Using one to two sentences, explain how the movement of tectonic plates helps turn sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks
The movement of tectonic plates exerts pressure and heat on sedimentary rocks, causing them to undergo metamorphism and transform into metamorphic rocks through recrystallization and structural changes.
In one
sentence identify and describe the processes that must happen for sand to eventually become metamorphic rock
The sand must undergo compaction, cementation, and recrystallization under high pressure and temperature to eventually become metamorphic rock.
