Question

Weathering is a process that helps make soil. All but one statement describes how rocks may be weathered. That is:

A) Water fills tiny spaces inside a rock.
B) Rock pieces are moved from place to place.
C) Plant roots can grow between cracks in rocks.
D) Living things, like moss and lichens, chemically break down rocks.

Answer 1

A is the right answer

Answer 2

B) Rock pieces are moved from place to place.

Step-by-step explanation:

I disagree with the other person who answered.

Weathering occurs when water fills pores in a rock, from plant roots breaking apart rocks, and when living things chemically break down rocks. These all describe physical and chemical weathering. However, choice B is describing the process of "erosion, which is moving sediment (pieces of rock) from one place to another. B is the correct answer.
