• Igneous

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentary

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

Based on the law of superposition, what is the order of these rock layers, from oldest to youngest?

• 1, 2, 3, 4

• 2, 1, 4, 3

• 3, 2, 1, 4

• 4, 3, 2, 1
