Question 7 (Which sequence shows how igneous rock can become sedimentary)
To determine how igneous rock becomes sedimentary, recall the rock cycle. Igneous rock (formed from cooling magma/lava) undergoes weathering (breaking into smaller pieces), erosion (transport of these pieces), deposition (accumulation in a new location), and compaction (pressing of sediments to form rock). Option A is for igneous rock formation. Option C is for metamorphic rock formation. Option D is not a path to sedimentary. Option B (Weathering → erosion → deposition → compaction) matches the process.
Metamorphic rocks form from existing rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic) under heat and pressure without melting (if it melts, it becomes igneous). Option A forms igneous rock. Option B forms sedimentary rock. Option D is weathering (part of sedimentary rock formation or breakdown). Option C (Heat and pressure without melting) is correct.
Lava cooling quickly at the surface forms extrusive igneous rock (fine - grained). Intrusive igneous rock forms from magma cooling slowly underground. Sedimentary rock forms from sediment compaction/cementation. Metamorphic rock forms from heat and pressure. So the correct option is B.
