What forces could cause a metamorphic rock to become magma?
(For 40 extra points, name how this force can occur inside earth)
MELTING
Bonus 40 points: It is caused by plate tectonics or the crashing of plates

Must sedimentary rock become metamorphic rock before it can become magma?
For a 40 point bonus: Explain your answer
Must sedimentary rock become metamorphic rock before it can become magma?
For a 40 point bonus: Explain your answer
No
Bonus: Sedimentary rock can melt and turn to magma

Why can we find limestone in the middle of the United States?
Why can we find limestone in the middle of the United States?
Limestone is formed in shallow warm ocean water. One time due to continental drift the United States was covered with ocean water and near the equator.
Why doesn't metamorphic rock rarely forms at Earth's surface?
Why doesn't metamorphic rock rarely forms at Earth's surface?
You need the heat from the mantle and pressure from plate tectonics deep underground.
