Question

Which statement best describes the formation of metamorphic rocks?

A. Magma cools and crystallizes slowly beneath Earth’s surface.
B. Liquid lava erupts from a volcano and cools quickly at Earth’s surface.
C. Sand and gravel are deposited at the mouth of a river and, over time, form layers that solidify into rock.
D. Ancient sandstone beaches become buried deep beneath Earth’s surface, where they are exposed to extreme heat and pressure.

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Metamorphic rock is formed when rocks or minerals are subjected to high heat and high pressure, or a combination of these two factors. Answer D is the only answer that explicitly describes a rock or mineral being subject to these two things, so therefore D is the best answer.

Answer 2

the answer is D!
