O A. When plates pull apart, rocks melt, and magma forms igneous rocks.
O B. When plates crash together, rocks are buried and form metamorphic rocks.
O c. When plates slide over and under each other, the heat and pressure form igneous rocks.
OD. When rocks push upward and form mountains, the erosion of the mountains can produce sediment.

Tectonic forces do not cause plates to slide over and under each other, to produce heat and pressure which forms igneous rocks

What is the rock cycle?

The rock cycle is a cycle which describes how the three basic rock types are related and how earth processes convert one rock type into another over geologic time.

Plate tectonic forces together with weathering and erosional processes, are responsible for the rock cycle.

Tectonic forces play the following roles in rock cycle:

  • When plates pull apart, rocks melt, and magma forms igneous rocks.
  • When plates crash together, rocks are buried and form metamorphic rocks
  • When rocks push upward and form mountains, the erosion of the mountains can produce sediment

Therefore, the statement that when plates slide over and under each other, the heat and pressure form igneous rocks is not True.
