TheEngine of Change: Plate Tectonics
Te konektion between metamorphic rocks andd thirbakes begins with thee large- scale motion of tectonic plates. The Earth 's rigid outer shell, known as thes lithosphere, is broken into a mosaic of plates that glide over thee hotter, more ductie asthenosfera below.
