Summary:

• **What is Antigorite and Where is it Found?** Antigorite is a special mineral found deep underground in areas where tectonic plates collide and slide beneath each other, called subduction zones. Scientists study this mineral because it helps them understand what happens to rocks when they are pushed deep into the Earth.

• **How Does Antigorite Change Shape?** When antigorite mineral is squeezed and heated deep underground, it bends and deforms in different ways depending on the temperature and pressure. By studying how this mineral breaks and changes, scientists can better understand the forces that cause earthquakes and volcanic activity in these dangerous zones.
