question 1 - 18\nthe sand found along the gulf of mexico coast of florida originated in granite formed from slowly cooling magma in the appalachian mountains. when this sand is buried and compacted, it will become sandstone. the sandstone may be moved deeper underground where it will be subjected to heat and pressure to become quartzite. what is the rock cycle for this sequence of transformations?\nigneous rock → metamorphic rock → sedimentary rock\nmetamorphic rock → igneous rock → sedimentary rock\nigneous rock → sedimentary rock → metamorphic rock\nmetamorphic rock → sedimentary rock → igneous rock

Answer

Answer:

C. igneous rock → sedimentary rock → metamorphic rock

Brief Explanations:

Granite is igneous rock formed from cooling magma. Sand from granite, when buried and compacted, forms sedimentary sand - stone. Sandstone becoming quartzite under heat and pressure is a metamorphic transformation.
