The correct answer is metamorphism. When heat and pressure act on existing rocks, they can cause chemical and physical changes that transform the rocks into a different type of rock, a process known as metamorphism.
To arrive at this answer, you can approach it through the process of elimination. Let's break down each option and see why the other choices are not correct:
1. Erosion: Erosion refers to the process of wearing away or moving materials by natural forces such as wind, water, or glaciers. It doesn't involve heat and pressure changing one type of rock into another.
2. Deposition: Deposition is the process of sediment or particles being dropped or deposited by wind, water, or ice. It doesn't involve the transformation of one type of rock into another.
3. Crystallization: Crystallization is the process of forming crystals from a liquid or gas, typically through the cooling or evaporation of a solution. It is not specifically related to the transformation of one type of rock into another.
By eliminating these options, we are left with metamorphism as the correct answer.
