Question

Determine which characterisitics produce metamorphic rock vs sedimentary(1 point)

Sedimentary Metamorphic
Heat and pressure
Sedimentary – Heat and pressure
Metamorphic – Heat and pressure
Weathering and erosion
Sedimentary – Weathering and erosion
Metamorphic – Weathering and erosion
Igneous rocks under heat and pressure
Sedimentary – Igneous rocks under heat and pressure
Metamorphic – Igneous rocks under heat and pressure
Compaction and sedimentation

Answer 1

Sedimentary - Compaction and sedimentation

Metamorphic - not applicable

Sedimentary rocks are formed through compaction and sedimentation of loose particles such as sand, mud, and gravel.

Metamorphic rocks are formed due to the application of heat and pressure to existing rocks, causing them to change in texture, structure, and mineral composition. The presence of igneous rocks under heat and pressure can also contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks.

Answer 2

which one applies to weathering and erosion?

Answer 3

Sedimentary rocks are formed through the processes of weathering and erosion. Weathering refers to the breakdown or alteration of rocks and minerals on or near the Earth's surface, while erosion refers to the movement and transportation of weathered materials by natural agents such as water, wind, and ice. These processes contribute to the formation of sedimentary rocks.
