The geologists compared the regions with higher erosion rates (X and Z) to the region with the lowest erosion rate (Y). What trend did the geologists observe?
Answer
A
Higher erosion rates tend to reduce the total time to reach metamorphism.
B
Higher erosion rates always result in slower burial of rocks.
C
Erosion rate does not appear related to metamorphic transformation time.
D
Lower erosion rates make metamorphism happen faster.
