Questions and Answers

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
