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:

Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. In the rock cycle diagram, the box with the volcano (magma/lava) - related image (the one with the red/orange interior, representing magma) has a "cooling" arrow leading to an igneous rock. Also, igneous rocks can be formed by crystallization of magma (intrusive) or lava (extrusive). The rock associated with the magma (volcano) box via cooling, or the one that forms from melted rock (after melting of other rocks) and then cooling, is the igneous rock. Typically, in rock cycle diagrams, the rock formed from cooling magma/lava (the one connected to the magma source with cooling arrows) is igneous. Looking at the diagram, the rock that is a product of cooling (from the magma - related box) or the one that forms when magma/lava solidifies is the igneous rock. For example, if one of the boxes has a rock that is formed by "cooling" from the magma (volcano) box, that's igneous. So we identify the rock that forms from the solidification of magma/lava, which in the diagram is the rock connected to the magma (volcano) box via cooling processes.

Answer:

The rock (in the box) that is formed by the cooling of magma or lava (usually connected to the magma - representing box with a "cooling" arrow, or the one that is a product of magma/lava solidification) is the igneous rock. (Since the diagram's specific boxes: the one with the volcano (magma) has cooling leading to an igneous rock, so the rock formed from that cooling, e.g., the dark - colored or crystalline - looking rock from the magma's cooling path, is igneous. If we assume the boxes: the top - left with magma, and the rock it cools into (e.g., the middle - top or another connected by cooling) is igneous. But based on typical rock cycle, igneous rocks form from magma/lava cooling, so the rock that is the result of cooling from the magma source in the diagram is the igneous rock.)
