Question

answer questions about rocks and the rock cycle question 15 of 15 identify the series of geologic processes that can transform sandstone into quartzite, quartzite into magma, and magma into rhyolite. a compacting and cementing; heat and pressure; melting b cooling; melting; heat and pressure c melting; heat and pressure; cooling d heat and pressure; melting; cooling

Explanation:

Sandstone is a sedimentary rock. To transform it into quartzite (a metamorphic rock), it undergoes heat and pressure which causes recrystallization. Quartzite can then be melted by high - temperature to form magma. Magma cools to form rhyolite (an igneous rock). So the sequence is heat and pressure; melting; cooling.

Answer:

C. Melting; heat and pressure; cooling
