Answer:
Stalactites hang from the ceiling of a cave while stalagmites grow from the cave floor. ... A stalactite is an icicle-shaped formation that hangs from the ceiling of a cave and is produced by precipitation of minerals from water dripping through the cave ceiling. Most stalactites have pointed tips.
The answer is C because the earth gets hotter as you go deeper into it therefore the continental crust which is the outside would be the coolest. The inner core is the hottest then the outer core then the mantle and then the crust would be the coolest.
<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".
