The movement of tectonic plates causes heat and pressure to be applied to sedimentary rocks, transforming them into metamorphic rocks through a process called metamorphism.
The movement of tectonic plates creates heat and pressure, which can cause the transformation of sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks through processes like recrystallization and deformation.
The movement of tectonic plates causes the intense pressure and heat necessary for the transformation of sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks by subjecting them to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust.
