The movement of Earths crust forms metamorphic rock when?

The movement of Earth's crust forms metamorphic rock when existing rocks are subjected to high pressure, temperature, or chemically active fluids. These conditions cause the rock to recrystallize, resulting in new mineral compositions and textures without fully melting. Metamorphic rocks are typically found in regions of tectonic activity, such as along fault lines or mountain ranges.
