Between New Zealand and South America, at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, Molten
atrial rom the mantle ries trough the en ‘As the material comes into contact with
the very cold ocean water, it cools quickly to become rock. Over time this rock ever so
slowly moves across the ocean floor. About 200 million years later, the rock is pushed
downwards, As the rock moves downward, it experiences great amounts of heat and
pressure.
Pathway 2
Deep underground, a new rock forms as heat and pressure change its crystals and cause
its grains to become foliated. Over millions of years, this rock is uplifted 10 become part
ofa mountain. Then, layers of rock above the foliated rock wear away, until it becomes
exposed at the surface. Destructive forces wear it down, and its fragments are carried
away by ariver's swilt-flowing water. Eventually, these fragments flow into the ocean
‘Oceair water carries the rock fragments away from the river and they are deposited on a
“beach. Over time, more and more sediment is deposited there, until the Tagments that
‘came from the foliated rock become cemented into a new rock. Then more and more
rock forms above this rock, until the heat and pressure change its orystals and cause its
grains to become foliated. =
