These sorts of rocks are created due to extreme heat and pressure.
-
Sedimentary rock
-
Metamorphic rock
-
Igneous rock
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Metamorphic rock is formed through the process of extreme heat and pressure acting on existing rocks. This causes the minerals within the rocks to recrystallize, resulting in a new rock with a different texture and composition. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and gneiss. Igneous rock, on the other hand, is formed from the solidification of molten material, while sedimentary rock is formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediment over time. Therefore, the correct answer is metamorphic rock.
