When sediment is _____?_______, sedimentary rock forms
a) weathered and eroded
b) compacted and cemented

d) intrusive igneous
Why is it near impossible for metamorphic rock to contain fossils?
a) these rocks are formed underwater, and the water dissolves the fossils
b) they are formed from hot magma and the heat would destroy the fossils
