Which of the following describes the process by which metamorphic rocks form? When existing rocks are weathered, detritus and chemical precipitates are deposited and lithified. When existing rocks are subjected to extreme heat or pressure and their texture or mineral composition is changed in some way. When molten rock solidifies. When existing rock is intruded by molten rock, melted and solidifies again. All of the following may occur in the rock cycle EXCEPT - weathering and erosion can turn igneous rock into sedimentary rock extreme heat and pressure can turn a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock magma crystallizes into an igneous rock compaction and cementation can change a sedimentary rock into an igneous rock
