Question Which statement describes metamorphic rock formation? Select the correct answer.(1 point) Responses Layers build up over time. Layers build up over time. Magma cools and hardens. Magma cools and hardens. Once-living organisms become buried. Once-living organisms become buried. Pressure causes rock to change.

Answer 1

The correct statement that describes metamorphic rock formation is: Pressure causes rock to change.

Answer 2

Question What should a model of the rock cycle show as the process that changes metamorphic rock to igneous rock?(1 point) Responses heating followed by pressure heating followed by pressure compaction followed by cementation compaction

Answer 3

The process that changes metamorphic rock to igneous rock is heating followed by melting (not explicitly listed in your responses). However, from the options provided, none accurately describe the correct transformation. Metamorphic rock can become igneous rock through the process of melting into magma followed by cooling. If forced to choose from your options, it’s important to note that heating is a crucial step in the melting process, but pressure is not involved in this specific transition. Therefore, the best fit from your provided options would be heating followed by pressure, keeping in mind this does not fully describe the melting and cooling process to form igneous rock. However, this is not the ideal answer for the specific question about the rock cycle.
