2002
This rock forms by intense heat. However, those white things are the remains of
seashells. Which choice represents the most likely reason why they are still
preserved?
● It was either a low-intensity heat or cooked the rock far enough away
. All modern seashells are made of quartz and are therefore resistant to
change
• There were other rocks blocking the "cooking" of this rock and protected it
• The white things are actually painted onto the rock and it's a trick question
