Which of these types of rock can melt under the right conditions? select all that apply. a. igneous b. sedimentary c. metamorphic

ANSWER:

Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks can all melt under right conditions.

EXPLANATION:

High pressure and temperature are needed to melt these rocks. There are different ways in which rocks can melt. Conduction is one of the ways that causes rocks to melt. In conduction, heat transferred from one particle to another causes the rocks to melt. Volatiles driven melting can take place in the subduction zone where water and carbon dioxide can be used to melt the rocks. Decompression in the 'mid-ocean ridges' can also cause melting of rocks.

The answer is cultural
