- Q1How do chemical and physical weathering contribute to the formation of sedimentary rocks?Physical and chemical weathering provide extreme pressure to sediments which compact it into sedimentary rocksPhysical and chemical weathering create sediment which is later buried and compacted into sedimentary rocksPhysical and chemical weathering deposit sediments in a specific location where they are compacted into sedimentary rocksPhysical and chemical weathering move sediment from one location to another to be deposited30s
- Q2Heat energy is most closely associated with the creation of which types of rocks?Igneous, Sedimentary and MetamorphicSedimentary and MetamorphicIgneous and MetamorphicIgneous and Sedimentary30s
- Q3When a sedimentary rock undergoes extreme heat and pressure what kind of rock does it turn into?Sedimentary RockIntrusive Igneous RockExtrusive Igneous RockMetamorphic Rock30s
- Q4Which of the following is most likely to contribute to chemical weathering?IceAcidWindWater30s
- Q5How can water be an agent for physical weathering?By absorbing gases from the atmosphere and ground to chemically react with mineralsBy absorbing sulfur dioxide and creating acid precipitationBy seeping into the cracks of rocks and freezingBy seeping into the soil and dissolving minerals in rocks30s
- Q6How is physical weathering different from chemical weathering?Physical weathering only occurs in warm climates while chemical weathering only occurs in cool climatesPhysical weathering changes the composition of the rock while chemical does notChemical weathering changes the composition of the rock while physical does notPhysical weathering only acts on sedimentary rocks while chemical weathering only acts on igneous rocks30s
