Question

every day on his ride to school, max sees some sedimentary rock. he starts to wonder: could material from this sedimentary rock ever form igneous rock?
no, igneous rock can only form out of other igneous rocks. sedimentary rock cannot change into igneous rock.
no, igneous rock forms under earths outer layer due to energy from earths interior, but sedimentary rock is only at earths surface.
yes, if sedimentary rock is exposed to energy from the sun at earths face for a long enough time, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.
yes, if sedimentary rock is moved below earths outer layer and exposed to energy from earths interior, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.

Explanation:

Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of molten rock (magma or lava). Sedimentary rocks can be transformed into igneous rocks if they are subjected to high temperatures (from Earth's interior) that cause them to melt into magma. This magma can then cool and form igneous rock. Option A is incorrect because igneous rocks can form from other rock types (not just igneous). Option B is incorrect as sedimentary rocks can be buried (not just at the surface) and undergo changes. Option C is incorrect because energy from the sun is not sufficient to melt rocks to form igneous rocks (it's Earth's interior heat that's relevant for this transformation).

Answer:

D. Yes, if sedimentary rock is moved below Earth’s outer layer and exposed to energy from Earth’s interior, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.
