Question

One student in an experiment on the rock cycle the steps of the experiment are shown below. • collect five pieces of wax of different colors. • use a plastic knife to scrape off then shavings of the pieces of wax. • Pio the whack shavings of different colors one over the other. • hold the pile of whack shavings in the palm and squeeze it for 2 to 3 minutes. • fold the pile and squeeze it in the palm again for a minute. What does the students experiment most likely demonstrate about the rock cycle? A. Weather in can change igneous rocks into sediments . B. Weather in can change metamorphic rocks into sediments . C. Heat and pressure can change igneous rocks into metamorphic rocks . D. Heat and pressure can change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks

Answer 1

The answer is c because that's how rocks are formed

Answer 2

Answer:

Heat and pressure can change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given steps, when the student first added the layers of wax over each other, we can assume these to be sedimentary rocks.

Next the student squeezed the layers of wax in his palm. This shows that heat and pressure are applied on the sedimentary rocks.

That shows that applying heat and pressure on sedimentary rocks, change these rocks into metamorphic rocks.

So, correct option is D.
