Accurate statements: 1, 2, and 3.
- 1 (generally true): Metamorphism typically makes rocks more compact and denser than their original form due to recrystallization and pressure.
- 2 (true): Metamorphic rock forms from existing rock under heat and pressure.
- 3 (true): Metamorphic rock originates from other rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or older metamorphic rocks).
Statements 4 and 5 are not accurate for metamorphic rock (4 — they form below the surface; 5 — layering of sediments describes sedimentary rock).
