Answer:

Continental drift has directly changed ocean currents over earth’s history.

Explanation:

Plate tectonics is the process by which the continents drift about the planet Earth. This drifting will be usually two to three centimetres a year.

When this happens over a million years, there will be significant change in size and position of land areas.

This can explain about the climate changes on our planet. In earlier days of Earth history, the continental plates were locked together without moving.

This changes gradually increased over time, expansion of land masses has affected the ocean currents. This will in turn affect the climate as the ocean currents involves the transfer of heat across the area.

abruzzese [7]

Answer: to me personally I think They would become igneous rocks

Explanation:

If originally, sedimentary rocks are exposed to energy from the sun, no changes will occur to them.

The temperature of the sun does not change the materials of the earth substantially.
There is a very significant effect of the heat from the interior on rocks, especially sedimentary rocks.
Heat can hit a whopping 6000 ° C from the inside, which is more than enough to cause a metamorphic shift in a rock in the body.
Actually, the igneous rock will be formed from the sedimentary rock at this temperature.
