b. A deposit of clay/mud at a convergent plate boundary.
c. A magma chamber that intruded at an old beach (be sure to include a color).
d. A high grade rock found in a mountain range
A. The metamorphism of the swamp will lead to the formation of coal.
B. The deposit of clay/mud will turn into slate/ schist / gneiss based on the extent of metamorphism.
C. The intrusion of magma into beach sands will turn it into quartzite whose color will depend on the type of impurities present in it.
D. A Gneiss is a high grade rock found in a mountain range.
