Question

A metamorphic rock interacts with the layers of Earth and melts because of extreme heat and pressure. Which of these is most likely formed when the molten rock cools?

Answer 1

When granite is subjected to intense heat and pressure, it changes into a metamorphic rock called gneiss. Slate is another common metamorphic rock that forms from shale. Limestone, a sedimentary rock, will change into the metamorphic rock marble if the right conditions are met.
