Nora was on a vacation in Hawaii and decided to study some rocks. What type of rock is Nora most likely to find while on an Island in Hawaii?
She will find mainly igneous rock, because Hawaii has and was formed by active volcanoes.
She will find mainly metamorphic rock, because Hawaii always has high temperatures.
She will find mainly sedimentary rock, because Hawaii has a large amount of organic plant matter.
She will find mainly sedimentary rock, because Hawaii has high winds and ocean currents.
The wearing away of rocks is a description of which process?
Erosion
Drainage
Weathering
Infiltration
The best answer to what weathering involves is the
transport of rocks and minerals through wind.
physical and chemical breakdown of rocks.
movement of rock fragments at Earth's surface.
formation of rocks and minerals at Earth's crust.
