Read the following passage: the movement of tectonic plates buries a rock deep inside earth. intense heat and pressure change the mineral composition of the rock and transform it into rock a. rock a melts and comes out to the surface of earth during a volcanic eruption. the molten rock cools rapidly to form rock b. which statement is most likely correct? rock b may have fossils. rock a may have shiny, glassy surface. rock a is composed of layers of sediments. rock b has a fine grainy texture and small crystals.

The answer is D

hope this isnt too late

D

Explanation:

organisms are more likely to be more preserved in mud than sand because mud is moist and wet, while sand is very dry.

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
