• Loam

• Clay

• Silt loam

Acid rain can cause statues made of stone to lose some of their features over time and is most likely due to which of the following events?

• Mechanical weathering from roots growing in the cracks of the material

• Chemical weathering from the chemical change occurring due to the acidity of the rainwater

• Erosion from the movement of the statues from one place to another

Bedrock that is closer to oceanic ridges is younger in age than bedrock that is far away. What can be best concluded from this information?

• The shape of Earth’s lithosphere is continually changing.

• The oceans are becoming deeper and warmer as more rocks are produced.

• The movement of continental plates is caused by volcanic eruptions.

• The rocks on the ocean floor are producing tectonic plates that are converging.
