Question

During the formation of metamorphic rocks, what most likely causes pressure to increase?

1.Magma pockets rise.
2.Gravity pulls on rocks.
3.Rocks melt deep beneath Earth’s surface.
4.Rocks beneath Earth’s surface are forced toward the mantle.

Answer 1

4answer is correct I hope

Answer 2

Answer:

Metamorphic rocks formed from the melting of sedimentary rocks.

Explanation:

There are three major types of rocks including igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks.

Metamorphic rocks formation depend on three factors including temeprature, pressure and mineral change. Sedimentary rocks which are buried deeper in the earth surface causes increase in the temperature which turns the pressure to increase and allows formation of metamorphic rocks.

Deeper the rocks buried, more is the temperature and turns into more pressure.

Hence, the correct option is 3. Rocks melt deep beneath Earth’s surface.
