Question

a rock is subjected to intense heat and pressure deep within the earths crust. this rock will most likely transform into a(n):
igneous rock
sedimentary rock
metamorphic rock
mineral

Explanation:

When any existing rock type is exposed to intense heat and pressure deep in the Earth's crust, it undergoes metamorphism, transforming into a metamorphic rock without melting into magma (which would form igneous rock). Sedimentary rocks form from deposition and cementation, and minerals are the building blocks of rocks, not the product of this transformation.

Answer:

Metamorphic rock
