ANY rock can become a new igneous rock when ________.

• sediments are melted then cooled

• sediments are compacted and compressed

• magma is melted and cooled

• magma is compacted and compressed

Can a sedimentary rock ever become an igneous rock?

• Yes, if sedimentary rock is moved below Earth’s outer layer and exposed to energy from Earth’s interior, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.

• Yes, if sedimentary rock is exposed to energy from the sun at Earth’s surface for a long enough time, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.

• No, igneous rock forms under Earth’s outer layer due to energy from Earth’s interior, but sedimentary rock is only at Earth’s surface.

• No, igneous rock can only form out of other igneous rocks. Sedimentary rock cannot change into igneous rock.
