That would be true.
False. Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks through processes such as heat, pressure, and/or chemical activity. The rock's original composition and mineralogy can change during this process.
Metamorphic rocks are formed by the transformation of existing rocks due to high pressure, temperature, or chemical processes. While they are common, igneous and sedimentary rocks also make up a significant portion of the Earth's crust. Metamorphic rocks often have distinct textures and mineral compositions based on their formation conditions.
Metamorphic rock can become igneous rock by melting and resolidifying. It can also become sedimentary rock through weathering and erosion, deposition and lithification. It can also become a higher grade metamorphic rock. In a few instances, it can also become a retrograde metamorphic rock. Igneous rock can form from any rock type, if the rock type is melted then cools to a solid.
Basalt makes up the oceanic crust, while continental crust is mainly composed of less dense rock types such as granite and other igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. However, there are areas on continents where basalt can be found, typically associated with volcanic activity.
False. Granite is an igneous rock, formed from the cooling and solidification of magma deep within the Earth's crust. Sedimentary rocks are formed through the accumulation and consolidation of sediment particles.
Anthracite is a metamorphic rock, not a sedimentary or igneous rock. It forms from the metamorphism of bituminous coal, under high pressure and temperature conditions deep within the Earth's crust.
That is false. The 3 main types of rocks are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
False. Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks through processes such as heat, pressure, and/or chemical activity. The rock's original composition and mineralogy can change during this process.
It is false. Granite is a igneous rock that was formed from magma cooling and hardening.

Actually they don't they fall on towards Earths crust.
True, both the crust and mantle are composed of solid rock. The innermost part of the crust is also believed to be solid, although it may experience some plastic deformation under extreme pressures and temperatures.
False A+
