Rocks reliably preserve mineralogical and structural pressure-temperature signatures from historical tectonic events, enabling geologists to reconstruct regional burial and deformation histories.

The analysis

The claim states that rocks retain mineralogical and structural pressure signatures from tectonic events. Papers [3], [6], and [7] directly support this by detailing how metamorphic rocks record dynamic P-T conditions, how mineral microstructures and isotopic systematics track deformation and burial, and how geobarometry is used to read these preserved pressure signatures. No retrieved papers refute the claim.
