Question
florian discovers a rock that is broken into pieces. each piece has several bands. which type of rock does florian predict these pieces will change into when subjected to heat and pressure?
○ igneous
○ magma
○ metamorphic
When rocks are subjected to heat and pressure, they undergo metamorphosis. Magma is molten rock, and igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma. Metamorphic rocks are formed from pre - existing rocks (either igneous, sedimentary or other metamorphic rocks) that change due to heat and pressure. Since the rock is being changed by heat and pressure, it will become a metamorphic rock.
