How do plate tectonics explain the formation and metamorphic rocks?

Biology

Serga [27]3 years ago

Metamorphic rocks are formed from other rock that has been subjected to very high temperature and pressure.

When one of the earth's plates comes in contact with another either by both traveling opposite directions, straight into each other, or from one slipping under the other (subduction zone), the pressure/friction of the plates against each other melts the rocks and after they cool they are metamorphic. Example is in Washington state when the Juan de fuca plate is going under the North American plate the pressure/friction of this melts the rocks which then form metmorphic rock.

Do you think it is possible to have the benefits of the agricultural & industrial revolution without the environmental costs
telo118 [61]
I do not think the industrial and agricultural revolutions could have occurred without the environmental costs. The industrial revolution in the 18th century occurred at a time in history when people where not aware of the consequences of their actions or the consequences of the widespread use of fossil fuels. Even if they were aware the technology would not have been present to harness power from natural renewable sources of energy.
