Question

6 the diagram below represents geological processes that act continuously on earth to form different rock types. which table correctly classifies each rock type? a type of rock classification 1 sedimentary 2 metamorphic 3 igneous b. type of rock classification 1 sedimentary 2 igneous 3 metamorphic c. type of rock classification 1 metamorphic 2 igneous 3 sedimentary d. type of rock classification 1 igneous 2 metamorphic 3 sedimentary

Explanation:

• Igneous rocks form from magma/lava cooling (process B: “Heat, followed by cooling and solidification”).
• Sedimentary rocks form via weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction (process A: “Weathering and erosion, deposition and compaction”).
• Metamorphic rocks form from heat, pressure, chemical activity (process C: “Heat and pressure accompanied by chemical activity”).
• Rock type 1: Igneous (matches process B).
• Rock type 2: Metamorphic (matches process C).
• Rock type 3: Sedimentary (matches process A).

Answer:

D.

Type of Rock	Classification
2	metamorphic
3	sedimentary
