crushing actions of the tectonic plates

What must happen for a metamorphic rock to become igneous rock?

it must be pulled into the earths crust, then it must melt and cool

It must be compressed by high pressure and heat

it must be soaked in water until it dissolves and changes forms

it must be weathered and eroded and then deposited.

Which of the following statements best compares Radioactive Dating and the Law of Superposition?

Radioactive dating uses the rate of decay in a rock to accurately calculate the age of the rock, while the Law of Superposition tells us if a rock layer is older or younger compared to another layer.

The Law of Superposition uses the rate of decay in a rock to accurately calculate the age of the rock, while radioactive dating tells us if a rock layer is older or younger compared to another layer.

Radioactive dating uses the rate of decay in a rock to accurately calculate the age of the rock, while the Law of Superposition tells us how many fossils are in a rock layer.

The diagram shows a cross section of folded sedimentary rocks with a fault and an igneous intrusion. Based on the Law of Superposition, which statement best compares the relative age of two rock layers?

Layer K is younger than Layer L.

Layer L is younger than Layer A.

Arches National Park has several geologic formations like the one in the picture. How do these rock formations provide evidence that Earth has changed over time?

Weathering and erosion have changed rocks into unique shapes.

Gravity was different long ago allowing these rock formations to form.

Earth is the only planet that can create huge geologic structures like these.

300 million year old Brachiopod fossils have been found in Indiana. Indiana is a state in the middle of the U.S. shown in red on the map. Brachiopods are marine organisms that lived in oceans. What do these fossils tell us about the environment in Indiana 300 million years ago?

Brachiopod fossils found on land tell us that Indiana used to be under the ocean.

Brachiopod fossils tell us that Indiana is 300 million years old.

Brachiopods live in Indiana today because the environment has never changed.

Brachiopod fossils take 300 million years to form.
