ANSWER:

Scientists learn about the "temperature and pressure" near the Earth’s core by studying "metamorphic rock".

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Metamorphic rock is the rocks that are changed by the intense heat or pressure. So, it is used to identify the temperature and pressure near the Earth’s core.
  • Core is the "innermost part" of the earth; it is the "hottest part" of the earth and can be found out the temperature and pressure by using the metamorphic rock.
