an ingenious rock like granite can change into a very different sedimentary rock like sandstone. What processes must have acted on the granite over the years to change this igneous material into sedimentary rock?

Respuesta :

Answer:

very very high heat and pressure

Explanation:

Answer:

Granite is an igneous rock that is composed of four minerals. These minerals include quartz, feldspar, mica, and hornblende. Granite is formed from the solidified silicic magma. This happens within the Earth’s crust. It can be exhumed, i.e. it is brought closer to the surface. This is done via extensive erosion of the rock layers that are present above the granite through the process of faulting. Once the granite is exposed, it is subjected to the usual weathering and erosion, and this links it to the sedimentary part of the rock cycle.
