The answer would be: <span>a. cooler temperatures
</span>Increase in distance from the equator will reduce the amount of sunlight received, which will make the area have a cooler temperature. I<span>ncrease in elevation above sea level should make the air pressure lower as there is less air above the area.</span>
The type of rock that will be formed is METAMORPHIC ROCK.
Metamorphic rocks are pre-existing rocks that are formed as a result of physical or chemical alteration by mean of heat and pressure. The process transform the rock into a denser, more compact rock. Examples of metamorphic rocks are marble, gneiss and schist. Metamorphic rocks can be formed from already existing igneous or sedimentary rock. <span />
I think the answer is NUCLEUS.
