Question
which of the following best describe how granite are formed from gneiss?
○ rocks eroded and transported, got compressed and burried
○ rocks expose to heat and pressure and got melted
○ rocks are expose to surface and got eroded
○ rocks are burried deep in the earth and melt in the mantle. this rocks expose to surface through volcanic activity, it cools then harden
To form granite (igneous rock) from gneiss (metamorphic rock), follow the rock cycle path: gneiss is buried deep, melts in the mantle, then rises via volcanic activity, cooling and hardening into granite. The other options describe formation of sedimentary rock, metamorphic rock, or erosion, not this igneous formation process.
