How is the rock cycle and plate tectonics the same? In the rock cycle, one form of rock can be changed into another through various events that occur in the layers of Earth. Which statement describes the connection between plate tectonics and the rock cycle?

As the plates move, particles are broken off from the plates and form the basis of sedimentary rocks.

The uplifting of metamorphic rocks and the added heat of conduction causes the plates to move at a slower pace.

As rock particles are moved out to sea and deposited as igneous rock, they cause the tectonic plates to move apart faster

The movement of tectonic plates causes an increase in magma production by volcanoes leading to the development of sedimentary rocks.
