Question
the diagram below shows part of the rock cycle. which type of rock does c represent? igneous rock rock formed by cooling rock formed by heat and pressure sedimentary rock
Sedimentary rocks are formed through the compaction and cementation of sediments. In the rock cycle diagram, Rock C is shown to be formed from sediment via compaction. Igneous rocks form from cooling magma (Rock B is likely igneous as it comes from volcanic eruption which involves magma cooling). Rocks formed by heat and pressure are metamorphic rocks (Rock A is likely metamorphic as it is subjected to heat and pressure).
