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.

Answer are written below:
Explanation:
1) It is very important to have a universal method established to guide archaeological excavations because you have to planned out everything in order to find a method or a way to work through the study.
2) Understanding our past is important to our future because studying history enables us to understand the world better and the past gives us courage and protects us from harm.
3) It would be more challenging to be a prehistoric archaeologist as compared to historical archaeologist because historic archaeology is easier to study due to the presence in written form whereas Prehistoric archaeology is very difficult to study due to no written records are present.
4) I will work as an academic archaeologist as compared to cultural resource management (CRM) archaeologist because academic archaeologists are active researchers in their field which also published their work in the books, journals, and popular publications.
Answer: (A), (B), (C) and (E)
Explanation:
- Coral reefs are found in the oceans formed by the accumulation of the skeletal remains of the invertebrates. They are found under water.
- Cold seeps refers to those area where the gases such as methane, hydrogen sulfide comes out through the vent, under water.
- Hydrothermal vents are the places where the hot intruding magma reacts with the sea water producing a vent.
- Rocky intertidal zone refers to the zone between a high and a low tidal mark.
Thus under the ocean, the structures such as coral reefs, cold seeps and hydrothermal vents forms where the tide is not so high and not so low.
Kelp forest is the odd one, that refers to those brown colored seaweeds, having high nutrients in salt water.
