according to the diagram, which of the following forms when igneous rocks are weathered and eroded A. igneous rocks B. sediment * c. sedimentary rock d. metamorphic rock
1.c
2.b
3.d
4.b
100% correct
True, but all other choices are nonsense. It is sediment.
sediment then with compaction and cementation sedimentary
What diagram? Cannot copy and paste here.
here are the answers for the rest of the test
metamorphic rock
sediment
pressure and cementation
rocks are continuously being recycled into different forms
it is actually heat and pressure sry oops
it is sediment
number 4 is d
Epicmuuse was right. entered them into the wrong order and got it wrong though. oof
To answer this question, we need to understand the processes involved in the rock cycle. The rock cycle describes how rocks can be transformed from one type to another over time. It includes three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
Igneous rocks are formed when molten magma or lava cools and solidifies. They can be weathered and eroded by various natural forces such as wind, water, and ice. As igneous rocks are broken down into smaller pieces through weathering and transported away by erosion, they eventually become sediment.
Sediment is made up of small particles of weathered and eroded rocks, minerals, and organic matter. Over time, these sediments can undergo a process called lithification where they are compacted and cemented together. This transformation results in the formation of sedimentary rocks.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. sedimentary rock. Igneous rocks do not form directly from the weathering and erosion of existing igneous rocks. Instead, they can be formed through processes such as volcanic activity or solidification of magma. Metamorphic rocks, on the other hand, are formed when existing rocks undergo intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth, and the weathering and erosion of igneous rocks do not directly lead to their formation.
