<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Consider the following Statements:
1. Metamorphic Rocks are formed either deep in Earth’s crust or at plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide/diverge.
2. For formation of a metamorphic rock, it is vital that the existing rock remain solid and not melt.
Which of the following are ‘True’ ?

• A. 1 only
• B. 2 only
• C. Both 1 and 2
• D. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

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.
