Question

the diagram below is a model of the rock cycle. the diagram shows how one type of rock can change into another type of rock. select the metamorphic rock.

Explanation:

To identify the metamorphic rock, we use the rock cycle process: Metamorphic rocks form from existing rocks (sedimentary, igneous, or other metamorphic rocks) through metamorphism (heat and pressure). In the diagram, the rock with the "metamorphism" arrow pointing to it (and also showing metamorphism as a process it undergoes) is the one labeled with the single brown rock (not the layered sedimentary, loose sediment, magma, or igneous rock). The metamorphism arrows connect to this rock, indicating it forms via metamorphism.

Answer:

The metamorphic rock is the single brown - colored rock (the one with the "metamorphism" arrows associated with it, not the layered sedimentary, loose sediment, magma, or the igneous - looking rock).
