Identify each photo with a material name. Explain the processes which would have to occur as each material is transformed (arrows) into other materials. Include a plausible "next step" to replace the big question mark at the end
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Pebbles, a kind of sediment, could be transformed into a conglomerate through the process of lithification. After they were generated, transported (causing them to round), and deposited, the pebbles would then either be compressed or cemented together to form the sedimentary rock conglomerate. This conglomerate could be induced to melt with application of sufficient heat, rendering it into magma. That magma could cool and crystallize, producing the igneous rock granite. In terms of what happens next, this granite might experience differential stress and be metamorphosed in a mountain-building event to produce a gneiss. (Answers for this last part will vary.)
