Two students are discussing the processes that form the different rocks near mountains and lakes. Which choice below compares the formation of rocks at these locations? A) Sedimentary rock is formed from the heat and pressure in between tectonic plates to form mountains. Rivers deliver weathered rock to lake beds and form igneous rock over long periods of time.
B) Igneous rock is formed by volcanoes releasing magma from the mantle, the rock cools and piles up forming a mountain. Rivers direct water to cool magma underground forming metamorphic rock under lake beds.
C) Metamorphic rock is formed by pressure and heat of tectonic plates is then pushed up as mountains form. Rivers deliver weathered rocks into lake beds forming sedimentary rock as more layers are added.
D) Mountains push weathered rocks underneath tectonic plates to form sedimentary rocks inside the mantle. Rivers erode igneous rocks over time to form metamorphic rock.
