B.Sediments
D. Heat and Pressure
B. The rocks are continuously being recycled into different forms.
You're welcome :)
@ hi there :)
Is correct! Thanks.
Thx for the help
hi there :) is correct.
From Goggle:
Heat and pressure deep beneath Earth's surface can change any rock (igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary) into metamorphic rock. When rock changes into metamorphic rock, its appearance, texture, crystal structure, and mineral content change.
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the processes involved in the formation of different types of rocks.
A. Chemical rock: This type of rock is formed when minerals precipitate out of a solution. It is not directly related to heat and pressure.
B. Gemstone: Gemstones are minerals or rocks that are valued for their beauty and rarity. While heat and pressure can affect the clarity and appearance of gemstones during their formation, not all rocks transformed by heat and pressure become gemstones.
C. Metamorphic rock: Metamorphic rocks are formed when pre-existing rocks undergo changes due to high heat and pressure. These changes can occur deep beneath the Earth's surface and result in the transformation of the rock's mineral composition and texture. Metamorphic rocks include rocks like marble, quartzite, and slate.
D. Sedimentary rock: Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation and lithification (compaction and cementation) of sediments over time. They are typically formed near the Earth's surface through processes such as weathering, erosion, and deposition. While heat and pressure can affect sedimentary rocks during their formation, they are not the primary agents responsible for their formation.
Based on the given information, the correct answer is C. metamorphic rock. Heat and pressure, especially deep beneath the Earth's surface, can change any pre-existing rock into a metamorphic rock.
