The model above shows layers of sediment on an ocean floor. Which of the following can explain how these layers can become rock over many years?

• sand in the sediment melts and turns into rock

• weight of the water compacts the sediment into rock

Students conducted the experiment above. They added 200ml of water into the clay soil, and collected the water that drained through the soil. They then repeated this with silt and sand. What question were the students trying to answer with this investigation?

• Which type of water passes through soil?

• Which type of soil retains the most water?

• Which funnel holds the most soil?

• Does clay, silt, and sand get wet?
