Question

this rock was another type of rock that was heated and compressed over time. what type of rock is this? (1 point) ∘ igneous ∘ sedimentary ∘ metamorphic

Explanation:

To determine the rock type, we analyze the description: the rock is formed from another rock through heating and compression. Igneous rocks form from cooled magma/lava, sedimentary from sediment accumulation, while metamorphic rocks form from existing rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic) undergoing heat and pressure (metamorphism). The given process (heating + compression of another rock) matches metamorphic rock formation.

Answer:

C. Metamorphic
