Question

How does plate tectonics help explain the abundance and distribution of sedimentary rocks on Earth?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Convergence of oceanic and continental plates

Explanation:

• The plate tectonics states that the sedimentary on the earth has been formed from the sea beds or the ocean floor that was moved due to the deposition and accumulation of the sediments were small particles got cemented and compacted.

• Formed due to the weather and erosion from the source area, and deposited by the ice, water, and mass wasting processes. Theses deposited in layers of strata led to the formation of natural resources like coal, natural gas, and fossil fuels.

• The places were the large scale sedimentation takes place are said to be sedimentary basin and its depth and size depend on the earth's internal forces.
