What combination of processes can transform a metamorphic rock to sediments?

Question

A. Erosion, crystallization, and melting.
B. Heating, pressure, and lithification.
C. Melting, crystallization, and compaction.
D. Exposure, weathering, and erosion.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. Exposure, weathering, and erosion.

This combination of processes involves the exposure of metamorphic rock to the elements, leading to weathering (the breakdown of the rock) and erosion (the transportation of weathered materials), ultimately resulting in the formation of sediments.
