The Diagram Illustrates the Constant Formation and Destruction of Rock, Known as the Rock Cycle

Identify two processes labeled in this rock cycle that must occur in order to change any rock into an igneous rock.

• heat and/or pressure

• weathering and erosion

• melting and solidification

• deposition and cememtation
