What is the progression of rock types if the steps along the rock cycle proceed as follows? burial $\rightarrow$ uplift,weathering,erosion,deposition,lithification $\rightarrow$ burial $\rightarrow$ melting and crystallization
A) metamorphic $\rightarrow$ metamorphic $\rightarrow$ igneous $\rightarrow$ sedimentary
B) metamorphic $\rightarrow$ sedimentary $\rightarrow$ metamorphic $\rightarrow$ igneous
C) sedimentary $\rightarrow$ sedimentary $\rightarrow$ igneous $\rightarrow$ metamorphic
D) igneous $\rightarrow$ sedimentary $\rightarrow$ igneous $\rightarrow$ igneous

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first step leads to the formation of metamorphic rock because of the heat and pressure during burial. The second step leads to the formation of sedimentary rock through the processes of weathering, erosion, deposition, and lithification. The third step leads to the formation of another metamorphic rock through melting and crystallization. The final step leads to the formation of igneous rock.
