Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Metamorphic rocks are formed from other rocks that are changed because of heat or pressure when plates collide/diverge. They are not made from molten rock – rocks that do melt form igneous rocks instead.
