Samuel has a block of modeling clay, three heavy blocks, and a hot plate covered by a tray as shown. How could he use these items to model the process of an existing rock becoming a metamorphic rock, according to the rock cycle, and to model the flow of energy that drives this process?

Block of modeling clay is placed under three heavy blocks, and a hot plate covered by a tray.

Explanation:

Block of modeling clay is placed under three heavy blocks, and a hot plate covered by a tray is used for forming a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are formed when the rocks are placed to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or combination of all these three factors. Conditions like these are found deep within the Earth so by placing block of modeling clay is placed under three heavy blocks, and a hot plate covered by a tray formed metamorphic rock.
