Question

During which process do water molecules bond with elements in the minerals that make up rock to form new substances or solutions?

A. Hydration

B. Hydrolysis

C. Abrasion

D. Deflation

Answer 1

Hydration

Step-by-step explanation:

During hydration, water molecules are added to existing bonds without breaking them. Hydrolysis breaks the existing bonds. Deflation and abrasion are processes related to wind erosion.

Answer 2

A.) Hydration

Step-by-step explanation:

hydrolysis is when you pass a current through water and break the molecules apart, abrasion is using an abrasive to cut material off, and deflation is taking a gas out of something. also if you think about how they word it, the waters kinda dissolving the rocks, what's another way to describe something dissolving in water, or soaking it all up...hydration
