A student gathered four trays and four different kinds of rock samples — granite, limestone, marble, and sandstone. She tilted the trays, put a rock sample on the top end of each tray, and used a pump to force water continuously through a tube over the rocks for four days (96 hours). She collected data and recorded observations of each rock sample at the end of each day.
The results of the student’s investigation will be useful for —
A
a farmer choosing between contour farming or terracing to prevent erosion
B
a shorefront property owner wanting to protect his property from chemical weathering
C
a sculptor deciding which type of rock to use in a monument
D
a golf course grounds keeper deciding what kind of turf to plant on the fairways and greens
B
a shorefront property owner wanting to protect his property from chemical weathering
