A geologist is passing through a canyon that is known for frequent flooding. He comes across a tall rock that is in the middle of the flow of the floodwater. The geologist can tell that the rock has softer minerals in the middle than at its sides. If the floodwater continues to rise, how will it affect the rock?

Based on the observation of a geologist about a tall rock that he came across which is located in the middle of the flow of the floodwater, the flood will erode the rock until it breaks apart and the rock tips over since the rock has softer minerals in the middle that at the sides. Hope this answer helps.
