Match each process to its description. volcanic activity weathering hydrothermal energy Rocks break down as they interact with air and water. arrowRight Density differences and other factors cause metals to concentrate in igneous rocks. arrowRight Seawater heats up from contact with hot rock, and metals dissolve in it. The water rises and contacts cooler water, causing metal ores to settle on the ocean floor. arrowRight

Answer 1

• Weathering: Rocks break down as they interact with air and water.

• Hydro thermal Energy: Seawater heats up from contact with hot rock, and metals dissolve in it. The water rises and contacts cooler water, causing metal ores to settle on the ocean floor.

• Volcanic Activity: Density differences and other factors cause metals to concentrate in igneous rocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Weathering

Rocks break down as they interact with air and water.

Hydro thermal Energy

Sea water heats up from contact with hot rock and metals dissolve in it.

Volcanic activity

Density differences and other factors cause metals to concentrate in igneous rocks.
