Tectonic example sentences

Metamorphism occurs when rocks are forced down to lower levels by tectonic processes or when molten magma rising through the crust comes in contact with the crustal rocks or the underlying rocks are subjected to great amounts of pressure by overlying rocks.In regional metamorphism, rocks undergo recrystallisation due to deformation caused by tectonic shearing together with high temperature or pressure or both.One such plausible theory is the “Theory of Plate Tectonics”.The Wular lake in Jammu and Kashmir, in contrast, is the result of the tectonic activity.
