Question

the diagram below is a model of the rock cycle. the diagram shows how one type of rock can change into another type of rock. select the igneous rock.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To identify igneous rock, recall that igneous rocks form from the crystallization of magma (molten rock). In the rock cycle diagram, the process "crystallization" leads to igneous rock. The rock with the "crystallization" arrow pointing to it (or from which melting occurs, as igneous rock can melt to form magma) is the igneous rock. Looking at the diagram, the rock with the "crystallization" label associated (and formed from cooling magma) is the one with the speckled appearance (the left - side rock with the "crystallization" arrow towards it from the molten - looking box, and melting arrows from it).

Answer:

The igneous rock is the rock (in the left - side box with the speckled texture) that is formed via crystallization (from molten rock) and can undergo melting. (Visually, it's the rock with the "crystallization" arrow pointing to it and "melting" arrows coming from it, having a rough, speckled appearance.)
