Question 3 1 / 1 point

Air, water, and ice can break rocks into tiny fragments. Which of the following best describes this process?

Question options:

weathering

deposition

erosion

sediment

Answer 1

Involved in weathering is water for example groundwater as it circulates through the shallow rock can cause oxidation of iron minerals. Sedimentary rocks originally form from deposition such as conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, and shale. Air, water and ice can break rock into tiny fragments (soil) and this process is called weathering. 

Answer 2

1. Water is the one which is being involved in weathering.
Water is the main constituent for the earth's streams, oceans, and lakes and it is a fluid for the most of the living organisms. Its molecules contain oxygen and hydrogen atoms. They are connected by covalent bonds. Water prevails a standard ambient pressure and temperature.

2. The type of rocks which are formed from deposition is known as sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary cause organic particles or minerals. Those particles which accumulate to form sedimentary they are known as sediments. Sedimentary covers the rock from the continent of the crust of the earth.

3. The process which describes water, air, and ice breaks into tiny fragments is referred to as weathering. Weathering breaks down minerals, soil, and rocks, artificial materials, and wood. It occurs in the same place and without movement and can be confused with erosion. The two types of weathering include chemical and physical.
