Question

Help! Arrange the processes to show the order in which sedimentary rock are formed.

1._________
2._________
3. Deposition
4._________
-
A. Weathering
B.lithification
C. Erosion and transportation
D. Sedimentation

Answer 1

The correct order for the processes that form sedimentary rocks is: 1. Weathering, 2. Erosion and transportation, 3. Deposition, and 4. Lithification. These processes describe the transition from breaking down pre-existing rocks to forming clastic sedimentary rocks through deposition and solidification.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formation of Sedimentary Rocks

The processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks occur in a specific sequence. To arrange these processes in the correct order, we would list:

1. bbbris,
2. deposition
3. in a new area, and ultimately, lithification into solid rock.

Answer 2

The correct order is

1. Weathering

2. Erosion and Transportation

3. Deposition

4. Sedimentation

Step-by-step explanation:

The process involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks are –

a) Weathering – In this a preexisting rock is weathered into fine particles or pieces

b) Erosion & Transportation – the weathered fine particles are further disintegrated into fine powder so that they can be easily carried away by the force of wind, water , glaciers etc.

c) Deposition – The transported soil is deposited layer by layer with oldest layer at the bottom ,

d) Sedimentation – It is the compaction of loosely deposited soil to form silica and calcite gel.
