A granite can be transformed from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock and then to a metamorphic rock or the sedimentary rock can be transformed back into granite again by metamorphism. First of all, a granite often occurs in mountains and is susceptible to weathering and erosion.. Weathering such as argillic weathering can help break t he rock down to its constituent minerals which are mostly quartz, orthoclase feldspar and biotite mica. This then gets washed down into the rivers and thence to the coast and gets deposited in a marine environment as part of a delta or alluvial fan, in the form of sand, silt, clay and gravel. As this sediment becomes compacted, it turns into rocks like sandstone, siltstone etc. With deeper burial and the addition of heat and pressure these rocks get converted into such metamorphic rocks as quartzites, slates and phyllites, etc. I have seen a meta sandstone grade into a granite in the Canadian Shield so granite can then form from metamorphic processes as well as igneous processes.
It slooowwwwssss down... the colder the slower.
It states that rocks closer to the top are newest.
Answer:
Finland
Explanation:
Out of the numerous countries that are members of the European Union, Finland is the one with the smallest population density. The country is relatively large for European standards, but it has very small population. The population density of this Northern European nation is 16 people per square kilometer, which is far beyond the average for the European Union. The reason for this is mostly the climate. Finland is one of the coldest countries in the world. Big portion of the country has very harsh conditions for living, so naturally the people don't live in those areas. Also, the lakes are occupying lot of the territory of this country, thus reducing the area where the living conditions are bearable. Most of the population lives in the southern part of the country, being either along the coastline, or very close to it.
I think the answer is letter C I am so sorry if I am incorrect
