What process is primarily responsible for the formation of sedimentary rocks?

Deposition, compaction, and cementation of sediment

High pressure and temperature on existing rocks

Melting of rocks in the Earth's mantle

What is the main difference between mechanical weathering and chemical weathering?

Mechanical weathering involves the physical breakdown of rocks without changing their chemical composition.

Mechanical weathering changes the chemical composition of rocks.

Chemical weathering involves the physical breakdown of rocks.

Chemical weathering occurs only in water.

What role does water play in the rock cycle?

It participates in weathering, erosion, and the transportation of sediment.

It acts solely as an agent of chemical weathering.

It plays no role in the rock cycle.

Which of the following best describes the rock cycle?

A continuous and dynamic process that recycles rocks

A one-way process that forms sedimentary rocks

A linear process from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic rocks

A cycle that only involves the formation and erosion of sedimentary rocks

Which of the following best describes examples of erosion?

Physical and chemical weathering

Constant changes on the surface of the Earth

When water enters the cracks in a large rock and freezes, the water expands. Over time, water freezing and thawing –

weathers the rock into sediments

erodes the large rock through a river

changes the rock into a glacier

Which statement best explains how the formation of deltas and sand dunes is similar?

Both are formed be deposition of sediments.

Both are formed by the movement of glaciers.

Both are formed by water eroding sediments.
