When two tectonic plates slide past each other, it is likely that -

land will fall into the magma

earthquakes can occur

volcanoes are likely to form

a trench will develop

Why are fossils most commonly found in sedimentary rock?

Sedimentary rock is formed when rocks are melted in lava.

Sedimentary rock is formed when layers of material are pressed together.

Sedimentary rock is formed from weathering and erosion.

Sedimentary rock is formed when organisms and plants are frozen together.
