Question
which type of rock is most likely to form because of high heat and pressure?
igneous
magma
sediment
metamorphic
Metamorphic rocks form from pre - existing rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks) due to high heat and pressure. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. Sediments are small particles that can accumulate to form sedimentary rocks through processes like compaction and cementation, not directly from high heat and pressure.
