What must happen to a metamorphic rock before it becomes a sedimentary rock rock?

• It must be broken down into sediment

• It must be melted into magma

• Its minerals must dissolve in water

• It must be exposed to high temperature and pressure

If an igneous rock cools off slowly UNDERNEATH the Earth's surface, then its mineral crystals will be...

• Small mineral crystals that you can barely see.
• Large crystals that are easy to see.
• No crystals, it will have bits of plant and bones.
• No crystals, it will contain sand.
