Answer:

B) weathering

Step-by-step explanation:

Jose and Richie are trying to show weathering through their experiment.

Weathering, also known as weathering, consists of the physical and chemical alteration of rocks and their minerals. It is an important agent in the process of soil formation and relief modeler.

The weather is one of the main agents of weathering that is what Jose and Richie are trying to show. The climate determines the amount of rain and temperature that will reach the rock, chemically altering its minerals. The climate also determines the amount of winds, which physically changes the rocks.
