• Just pressure

• Just heat

• Heating and then cooling

• Weathering and erosion

Multiple Choice

Which of the following events is possible? (Read all options carefully!)

• Igneous rock can fall deep under Earth's surface to become metamorphic rock.

• Sedimentary rock falls under Earth's surface where it is melted and then is eventually released to Earth's surface as Igneous rock.

• Metamorphic rock can be brought to Earth's surface by tectonic plate movement and experience weathering and erosion to eventually become sedimentary rock.

• All of the options are possible.
