Question

Which statement best summarizes the complete rock cycle?


1.Sedimentary rocks are weathered to form igneous rocks. Igneous rocks are melted and cooled to form metamorphic rocks.


2.Metamorphic rocks melt to form igneous rocks. Igneous rocks can be weathered to form sedimentary rocks.


3.Sedimentary rocks are the only rocks that are weathered. Igneous rocks can change to sedimentary rocks.metamorphic rocks by heat and pressure. All rocks can be melted and cooled to form igneous rocks.


4.All rocks can change into all other rocks. When rock is melted and cooled, it forms an igneous rock. When rock is under extreme heat and pressure, a metamorphic rock forms. When rock goes through stratification, a sedimentary rock is formed.

Answer 1

Answer:

3.Sedimentary rocks are the only rocks that are weathered. Igneous rocks can change to sedimentary rocks.metamorphic rocks by heat and pressure. All rocks can be melted and cooled to form igneous rocks.

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks as the name implies are made up of rock sediments which are formed by weathering processes.

Igneous rocks are the rocks which gives rise to sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks under certain conditions such as heat and pressure.

All the type of rocks can also be melted and cooled to form back to igneous rocks.
