Both earthquakes and tectonic plate movement can affect organisms.

Earthquakes happen quickly and are short-term environmental changes.

Tectonic plate movement occurs slowly and is a long-term environmental change.

Explanation:

Earthquakes leads to numerous and dangerous environmental changes and makes a huge impact on the landscape. Earthquakes can lead to ground shaking, ground rupture, fires, tsunamis, surface faulting, landslides, mud slips, liquefaction, etc.

These disastrous short-term events can further lead to other long-term environmental damages like fire can destroy landscapes including cities, forests, plains, and mountains; tsunamis can destroy the coastal ecology, landslides and mudslides destroy the mountain structures.

Since the earthquakes occur quickly for a short time with massive intensity, the short-term damages are very high.

Tectonic plate changes happens gradually over years and leads to long term environmental impact like climate and temperature changes which effect terrestrial and aquatic environments.

Both earthquakes and tectonic plate movement can affect organisms.

Earthquakes happen quickly and are short-term environmental changes.

Tectonic plate movement occurs slowly and is a long-term environmental change.

Explanation:

the correct answer is 4) heat and pressure

metamorphic rocks arise from transformation of existing rocks types, in a process called metamorphism. during metamorphism the original rock(prolith) change into metamorphic rock by heating (150-200c) and pressure of more than 1000 bar. the original rock can be sedimentary, igneous, or existing metamorphic rock.
