How do plants weather rocks?

• Plants don't weather rocks.
• When roots grow into cracks of rocks and expand the rock breaks.
• When the plant moves water from the roots to the leaves, the rock breaks.

Two processes in the rock cycle are directly related to mountain building on Earth's surface. The diagram shows a mountain that formed over time.

Based on the diagram, which statement describes how the two processes are related?

• Pools of magma beneath Earth's surface cool into solid rock that builds up over time.

• Rock formed beneath Earth's surface is pushed upward by slow uplift over time.

• Compaction and cementation bind rock sediments together to form tall layers.

• Weathering and erosion break down surface rock and pile it in new locations.

Base your answer to the following question on the diagram which represents a profile of a mountain glacier in the northern United States. Over a period of years, this glacier gains more snow mass than it loses. What will be the most likely result of this gain?

• The glacier will decrease in size, and the ice front will retreat.

• The glacier will decrease in size, and the ice front will advance.

• The glacier will increase in size, and the ice front will retreat.

• The glacier will increase in size, and the ice front will advance.

What makes a river meander?

• weathering caused by increased water flow

• Deposition and erosion of sediment

• the sizes of sediments are reduced and the smaller sediment sizes cause the river to meander

• none of the above
