True
False
True or False: Lithification is a step in the process of the formation of sedimentary rocks in which loose sediment compacts and cements to form a sedimentary rock.
False
True

Convergent due to non-subducting crust
Divergent due to plates pulling apart
True or False: Weather is the conditions of an area over a short period of time.
False
