Which force plays a major role in the formation of metamorphic rock?

• Acceleration

• Friction

• Pressure

• Centrifugal force

Compaction and cementation are two common processes associated with:

• Extrusive igneous rocks

• Intrusive igneous rocks

• Sedimentary rocks

• Metamorphic rocks

What process is used to form metamorphic rocks?

• Lava cools and hardens to form a rock.

• Bits of sand gravel form layers that turn into rock from pressure.

• I don't know :(

• Extreme heat and pressure from inside the Earth turns rocks into new rocks.
