Answer:

1 - Transform plate boundaries

2 - Convergent : Subduction

3 - Convergent : Collision

4 - Divergent

Explanation:

1 - The main reason why there are earthquakes at transform plate boundaries is, sometimes as they slide past each other they may stick for long periods of time and when they eventually release a shock wave is felt.

2 - Subduction occurs when the heavier tectonic plate, in this case the oceanic plate slides under the continental plate

3 - Folding occurs when two continental plates crash into one another, no subduction occurs as they are the same mass instead the fold upwards to form mountains this is how the Himalayan mountain range was formed

4 - At divergent plate boundaries magma rises up this usually occurs underwater to form islands

Sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks can each have a distinctive appearance in the landscape, often allowing us to recogn

wel

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

As the sedimentary and igneous and metamorphic rocks are distinct from each other as they appear on the landscape but show similar internal properties and thus allowing us to recognize them from a distance.

Sedimentary Rocks range from shake sandstone to limestone and conglomerate. While Metamorphic i.e foliated being Slate, Phyllite, Schist, and Gneiss, etc. While the Nonfoliated Metamorphic rocks are Quartzite and Marble.

Rocks revolve in there set rock cycle forming distinctive and newer rocks over the geologic time scale of earth. As each rock type is altered with force to produce the fro example a basalt rock when subducted and could be merged with the mantel to form in the water cycle.

As these are called secondary changes in the evolutionary phases of rocks which then can transition into metamorphic rocks through the process of mountain building in the orographic belts.

As a result, other rocks are recrystallized to form a sedimentary rock in its next phase which is unstable and subject to weathering. Transitions deeply impact the chemical and physical properties of rocks.
