compacting and cementaing heat and pressure melting
The geologic structure responsible for the bounty in many countries often includes sedimentary basins, which are rich in natural resources like oil, gas, and minerals. These basins typically form in areas where sediment accumulates over time, creating conditions conducive to resource formation. Additionally, tectonic activity can lead to the formation of mountain ranges and faults, which may also contribute to the concentration of valuable resources. Ultimately, the specific geologic structures vary by region, reflecting local geological history and processes.

Sandstone can be transformed into quartzite through the process of metamorphism, which involves high temperatures and pressures that recrystallize the grains in the sandstone, causing them to fuse together and form a harder, more compact rock. This process also typically involves the migration of silica within the rock, leading to the growth of larger quartz crystals and the loss of original sedimentary features.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed of calcite or calcium carbonate deposits from ancient sea life. Sandstone is a metamorphic rock formed from sand which has been solidified by some geologic process. Quartzite, for example, is a type sandstone formed from solidified grains of quartz sand.
At transform plate boundaries, processes like subduction and seafloor spreading do not occur. Instead, these boundaries are characterized by the sliding past of two tectonic plates horizontally. There is no creation or destruction of crust at transform boundaries, only sideways movement.
Earthquakes can occur at a transform boundary.
What are geologic processes/vents that will occur because of this plate movement?
The modification of geological features by natural processes.

that Catastrophism proposes that Earth's geological features were mainly formed by sudden, short-lived events such as floods or volcanic eruptions, while Uniformitarianism suggests that these features were shaped over long periods of time by gradual, continuous processes like erosion and sedimentation.
A geologic trap is porous and permeable sandstone containing deposits of water and hydrocarbon.
