Play an AI-generated podcast conversation about this lesson

Which two rock groups are metamorphic rocks related to?

Igneous and volcanic

Sedimentary and igneous (correct)

Volcanic and sedimentary

Sedimentary and plutonic

What are the three factors that produce metamorphic rocks?

Heat, pressure, and erosion

Weathering, erosion, and deposition

Temperature, pressure, and time (correct)

Temperature, erosion, and time

How does the mineral content of metamorphic rocks indicate the pressure and temperature conditions of metamorphism?

Pressure and temperature have no effect on the mineral content

Different minerals form under different pressure and temperature conditions (correct)

The mineral content indicates the age of the rocks

The mineral content remains the same regardless of pressure and temperature
