Front

How does subduction(a form/type of plate motion) affect rock formations/layers?

Back

Subduction causes rock layers/formations to become exposed to the energy of the Earth's interior.

Front

How does uplift (a form/type of plate motion) affect rock formations/layers?

Back

Uplift causes rock layers/formations to become exposed to the energy of the sun.

Front

Does rock on all planets melt and cool around the same ranges of temperatures?

Back

Yes
