Question: Which of the following areas is most likely to form metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and schist?
Answer: a site deep underground
Hypothesis: metamorphic rock is likely to be formed in a site deep underground
Supporting facts: sent1: metamorphic rocks are formed by rocks being exposed to extreme heat and pressure sent2: the origin of the rocks means the way the rocks are formed sent3: if something is made of something else then the formation of that something requires that something else sent4: the formation of metamorphic rock is a sequential process, with stages of rock being compacted, heated, recrystallized sent5: underground means buried deep below other rocks sent6: how long something takes is a kind of measurement of time sent7: area is similar to location sent8: different classes of rocks are formed by different methods sent9: a site is a kind of area sent10: class is a property of a rock and includes values of sedimentary / metamorphic / igneous sent11: as depth increases , pressure will increase sent12: to be formed by is similar to being produced by sent13: to cause an event means to make that event more likely sent14: if something is a source of something else then that something usually contains that something else sent15: exposure to pressure is a kind of condition sent16: igneous rock is a kind of rock sent17: extreme means very high in value sent18: deep means great in depth sent19: as rocks are buried deeper below other rocks , the pressure / heat on that rock will increase sent20: place is synonymous with location sent21: magma is extremely high in temperature sent22: great can mean high in value sent23: exposure to heat is a kind of condition sent24: underground means under ground sent25: if something is formed by certain conditions then that something will likely be formed in an area with those conditions
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] exposure to pressure is a kind of condition [AND] exposure to heat is a kind of condition [INFER] int1: exposure to heat and pressure are kinds of conditions [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] if something is formed by certain conditions then that something will likely be formed in an area with those conditions [INFER] int2: if something is formed by being exposed to heat and pressure then that something will likely be formed in an area with heat and pressure [BECAUSE] extreme means very high in value [AND] great can mean high in value [INFER] int3: extreme can mean great [BECAUSE] int3 [AND] metamorphic rocks are formed by rocks being exposed to extreme heat and pressure [INFER] int4: metamorphic rocks are formed by being exposed to great heat and pressure [BECAUSE] int2 [AND] int4 [INFER] int5: metamorphic rock will likely be formed in an area with great heat and pressure [BECAUSE] as rocks are buried deeper below other rocks , the pressure / heat on that rock will increase [AND] underground means buried deep below other rocks [INFER] int6: as rocks are buried deeper underground, the pressure / heat on that rock will increase [BECAUSE] int6 [AND] deep means great in depth [INFER] int7: if a rock is buried deep underground then the pressure / heat on that rock will be great [BECAUSE] int5 [AND] int7 [INFER] int8: metamorphic rock is likely to be formed in an area deep underground [BECAUSE] int8 [AND] a site is a kind of area [INFER] int9: metamorphic rock is likely to be formed in a site deep underground
