6.
What does weathering mean in geology (the study of rocks)?
a)
It's the storm systems in the sky, like thunderstorms, tornadoes, and snowstorms.

8.
What are some key characteristics of an igneous rock?
a)
It's usually lava rock, made up of iron, nickle, or other elements found in the core of the Earth. Has been super heated by the core.
b)
It's layered, usually a mix of different elements, and has been formed by weathering, deposits, or pulverization. It's sometimes found closer to the surface of the Earth.
c)
It's formed by a combination of intense heat and pressure, and is usually characterized by the crystals that form because of that process.
d)
This is not a type of rock I remember.
