Put the processes that lead to the formation of sedimentary rock in sequential order.1: weathering & erosion, 2: deposition, 3: compaction and cementation1: deposition, 2: weathering and erosion, 3: compaction and cementation1: compaction and cementation, 2: deposition, 3: weathering and erosion30s
- Q10Knoll and his parents are hiking when they find several large rocks that have long, deep cracks in them. Which process most likely caused these cracks?High winds pushed the rocks over causing them to crack open.Sediment in the wind carved out the cracks.Water from floods or heavy rains froze inside the rock causing the rock to expand and break open.Glacier erosion caused the rocks to shift and crack open.30s
