The image shows a sandstone formation with visible bands of different colors. what do the bands indicate about how this sedimentary rock was formed? choose two answers. a. the rock was made from more than one type of material. b. water was absent during the compaction and cementation process. c. sediments and other matter were deposited in layers before lithification. d. the rock was stretched horizontally by the pressure from surrounding rocks. e. layers of hot liquids in the rock cooled and solidified at different temperatures.

the correct answers are;

a. the rock was made from more than one type of material.

e. layers of hot liquids in the rock cooled and solidified at different temperatures.

these are the two options that are related to the statement given above.

metamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture (distinct arrangement of minerals) in pre-existing rocks (protoliths), without the protolith melting into liquid magma (a solid-state change). the change occurs primarily due to heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids. i hoped i !
