A piece of rock is found to be less dense than water. Analysis of the rock shows that it has small holes throughout it, likely the result of the rapid escape of gases from the source of the rock. What type of rock is this most likely to be?
along the crests of oceanic ridges
active volcano
igneous
convergent boundary between two continental plates
they contain uranium
earthquakes
subjection of rocks to heat and pressure
transform fault boundary
Metamorphic rock is made by which one of the following dynamic processes?

igneous
convergent boundary between two continental plates
they contain uranium
earthquakes
subjection of rocks to heat and pressure
