Question

9. Which location, B or F, is more likely to have metamorphic rocks forming there? Explain your answer. 10. Which location, C or G, is more likely to have sedimentary rocks forming there? Explain your answer 11. Two students are discussing where metamorphic rocks are formed. Student 1: The convergent boundary is where the ocean plate is moving toward the continental plate and when they converge there is high pressure. Plus, location F is deep in the Earth where it is hot. So the metamorphic rocks form at F Student 2: I think they form at B because sedimentary rocks turn into metamorphic rocks, and B is located on a beach where there are lots of sediments. With which student do you agree? Why? 12. Based on your previous answers, in which location(s) might each rock type typically form in terms of plate boundaries? divergent convergent transform no plate boundary Igneous: Metamorphic: divergent convergent transform no plate boundary Sedimentary: divergent convergent transform no plate boundary

Explanation / Answer

Ans (9) Location F rock forming metamorphic rocks, Its occure i dipper part of continental crust.

Ans (10) Location C forming sedimentary rocks becouse its occuring in basins, and G found in volcanic arc settings.

Ans (11) I agree with statement (1) Because here plate converge and subduction occuring, their is high chances of low pressure and High tempreture like Blue schist metamorphism so location F metamorphic rock forming but in location B here metamorphism not occuring its in upper part of crust so sedimentation occuring.

Ans (12) Igneous rocks forming in Divergent, conergent,and no plate boundary,

Sedimentary rocks formed in No plate boundary its formed in basins

Metamrphic rocks formed in transferm plate,and convergent plate boundary.
