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
Sedimentary – Compaction and sedimentation
Metamorphic – Not applicable, as metamorphic rocks are not formed through compaction and sedimentation
is this correct
Apologies for the confusion. You are correct. Compaction and sedimentation are characteristics that produce sedimentary rocks, while heat and pressure are characteristics that produce metamorphic rocks.
answer everything
I apologize for the incomplete response. Here is the correct information:
Characteristics that produce sedimentary rocks:
- Weathering and erosion
- Compaction and sedimentation
Characteristics that produce metamorphic rocks:
- Heat and pressure
Igneous rocks under heat and pressure can undergo metamorphism and potentially form metamorphic rocks, but igneous rocks themselves do not directly produce metamorphic rocks.
