Question

Which statement best explains why limestone has fossil imprints but marble has no fossil imprints?

Answer 1

Answer:

Your answer would be B.  Limestone is a sedimentary rock and marble is a metamorphic rock

Explanation:

Here's how I came to this conclusion:

The first answer was trying to tell us that the marble is sedimentary and the limestone is metamorphic. But using our attained knowledge, we know that limestone is sedimentary and marble is metamorphic. This makes this answer incorrect.

The second answer is trying to tell you that limestone is sedimentary rock and marble is metamorphic, using the facts from the previous answer above we know that this is correct.

________________________________________________________

The third answer only has the process of metamorphic rock. Since we know that the marble would form from intense heat and pressure and forms underneath the surface, which describes the characteristics of metamorphic, but not sedimentary. They just tried to break up the definition to try and trick you. This answer is incorrect!

________________________________________________________

The fourth answer is not even factually true at all. Marble, (metamorphic rock) does not form due to accumulation of sediments and sedimentary rock is not formed from lava. This answer falsely states the processes of the different rock types. This answer is incorrect.

I REALLY hope this helps your understanding of this topic!

Have a absolutely wonderful day :)
