Answer:

The plate motion that occurred near the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains uplifted igneous rock that formed underground. This rock eventually eroded and its sediment formed sedimentary rock in the Great Plains. ... Uplift and subduction can expose rock formations to different energy sources, which can transform them.
