A student uses a magnifying glass to examine the shape of a small rock in the schoolyard over one year (see Figure 2). He also makes other observations (Table 1) and wonders why the rock has changed. Provide two pieces of evidence from Table 1 and/or Figure 2 showing the amount of rock matter has changed after one year.

Which of the following could cause a rock to break down over time?

• Gravity can cause rocks to become compressed.

• The atmosphere/hydrosphere weathers rocks' surface by wind/water and ice.

• The humidity of the atmosphere causes rocks to shrink.

• Rock matter evaporated from the rock.

A mountain range is shown in Figure 3, comparing the change in appearance over millions of years. Please describe how the mountains changed over time.
