Answer 2

Answer:

The statement that best describes the formation of a metamorphic rock is the one that says the pressure causes the rock to change.

Explanation:

• Metamorphic rocks are formed when the rocks that are already present in the interiors of Earth are subjected to high pressure and intense heat.

• Metamorphic rocks are denser and have a layered formation.

• They are formed through a process called metamorphism which literally means 'change in the form'.
