Answer 1

D. From the cooling of magma.

Answer 2

What is formed at a divergent plate boundary?
A. Metamorphic rock
B. Oceanic crust
C. Mountains
D. Sedimentary rock

Answer 3

B. Oceanic crust

Answer 4

Using one to two sentences, explain how the movement of tectonic plates helps turn sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks

Answer 5

The movement of tectonic plates can cause sedimentary rocks to be subjected to heat and pressure, which in turn transforms them into metamorphic rocks by altering their mineral composition and texture.

Answer 6

In one to two sentences, identify and describe the process that must happen for sand to eventually become metamorphic rock

Answer 7

For sand to eventually become metamorphic rock, it undergoes the process of lithification, where layers of sand particles are compacted and cemented together under pressure over time, due to the weight of overlying sediments, eventually resulting in the formation of a solid, metamorphic rock.
