Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A rock that has undergone extreme heat and/or pressure to the point that it has been fundamentally altered in composition and texture is a metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation of sediment, while igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and solidification of molten rock. "Ancient" is not a scientific classification for rocks.
