Jaliah is working on labeling different diagrams that show rocks at different stages of the rock cycle. What conculsions can be drawn about the circled rocks in the diagram?

• they will heat and form an igneous rock

• they will continue to heat and form metamorphic rock

• they will cool and crystalize to become igneous rock

• they will sink into the crust and form metamorphic rock
