Which of the following could become metamorphic rocks?

Geography

BigorU [14]3 years ago

<u>Answer: </u>

Neither rock A nor B could become metamorphic rocks.  

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • Magma is the molten rock under the surface hardens into igneous rock. This rock breaks down over time under the process of weathering.
  • These pieces of "igneous rocks" are cemented together with other bits of rocks to form sedimentary rocks.
  • These rocks get buried under the geological processes like earthquakes. Now, coming in contact with high temperatures and magma, these rocks get changed into metamorphic rocks.
  • So, from option A, igneous rock is formed. When combined with rock B and other rocks, sedimentary rocks are formed.
  • Metamorphic rocks are formed in the next process. Therefore, neither of the two rocks could become "metamorphic rocks".

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Intrusive igneous rocks are formed below the earth surface at more dense pressure than extrusive igneous rocks. Since they from.below the surface, the magma cools slowly, giving the grains more time to form, this way, intrusive igneous rocks form large crystals that are coarse grained.

On the other hand, extrusive igneous rocks form at the surface, in this less dense and extremely low temperature environment, they cool rapidly producing small grain, fine textured rocks.

2.) These differences are related to where the rocks cool and solidify. In general terms, intrusive rocks cools slowly Hence forming large grained coarse textured rocks while Extrusive cools more rapidly forming small grained fine textured rocks.

Igneous processes involves the series of operations which leads to the formation of igneous rock which include the the process at which hot magma deep beneath the earth (high temperature and pressure) find its way to regions of lower temperature to form intrusive or the surface of the earth to form extrusive igneous rocks. As magma finds its way up mineral formation goes on with high temperature mineral and low temperature minerals forming at different depths.

The dominant factor which determines the grain size of igneous rock formed is the rate of cooling. When the igneous rock cools rapidly, fine grained rock size is produced, similarly when magma has enough time to cool and this cool slowly, coarse and large grained crystals are formed.

What are some characteristics of Batholith​
AVprozaik [17]
A batholith has an irregular shape with side walls that incline steeply against the host rock. Most batholiths intrude across mountain folds and are elongated along the dominant axis of the range; faulting and contact metamorphism of the enveloping rock near the batholith is also observed.
