A
extreme pressure and heating
B
rapid burial of sediments
C
constant weathering and erosion

B
Chemicals toxic to living organisms are released during formation of these rocks
C
Heat and pressure are great enough to destroy the structure of fossils found in these rocks.

B
The acidity of the plant forms new types of smaller rocks.
C
The plant wraps itself around the rock and forces it to crumble.
D
The plant absorbs all the water from the soil leaving the rocks dry and brittle.
