Identify the correct steps to create an igneous rock and transform it into a metamorphic rock and then into an igneous rock.
A) melted and solidified $\rightarrow$ exposed,eroded,and deposited $\rightarrow$ buried deeply
B) melted and solidified $\rightarrow$ buried deeply $\rightarrow$ remelted and solidified
C) eroded and deposited $\rightarrow$ buried deeply $\rightarrow$ remelted and solidified
D) eroded and deposited $\rightarrow$ melted and solidified $\rightarrow$ buried deeply

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To create an igneous rock, it needs to be melted and solidified (F1F1F1S1F1F1F10). To transform it into a metamorphic rock, it needs to be buried deeply (F1F1F1S1F1F1F10) and then subjected to heat and pressure to undergo metamorphism. Finally, to transform it back into an igneous rock, it needs to be remelted and solidified (F1F1F1S1F1F1F10). Therefore, the correct steps are melted and solidified, buried deeply, remelted and solidified, which is only available in option B.
