The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed when existing rock is altered through pressure, temperature, or chemical processes?

69% Answer Correctly

coal

sedimentary

igneous

metamorphic


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
