Question
drag the missing word into place
depending on where they get deposited, is it evident?
a rock forms from an existing rock
that gets buried very deep, under pressure and where its very hot.
igneous sedimentary metamorphic
Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks) are subjected to high - pressure and high - temperature conditions deep within the Earth's crust. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and lithification of sediments (such as sand, silt, clay, and organic matter) at or near the Earth's surface. The description in the question about an existing rock being buried deep, under pressure, and in a hot environment matches the formation process of metamorphic rocks.
