Asap ! in the rock cycle how does rock become sediment a. through heat and pressure b. through weathering and erosion c. through compaction and cementation d. crystallization and solidification

Option (B)

Explanation:

The rocks are often affected due to the physical and chemical weathering processes. These allow the rocks to break down and form sediments that are transported from one place to another by the agents such as wind, water, and ice. The rocks are converted into sediments due to the following types of weathering processes.

The types of weathering process that are responsible for the creation of sediments are as follows-

(a) physical weathering- This includes the physical processes such as temperature, rainfall, water, the wind that affects the rocks repeatedly leading to the breakdown of rocks. Some examples of physical weathering processes are freeze and thaw method, exfoliation and expansion and contraction method.

(b) Chemical weathering- This includes the chemicals that affect the rocks, eroding them and forming sediments. Some of the examples of the chemical weathering process are hydrolysis, carbonation, and oxidation.

(c) Biological weathering- This includes the plants and animal behaviors that are responsible for the weathering of rocks. For example, a plant growing through the cracks of rocks can lead to the breakdown of rocks that eventually forms sediments.

The sediments that are formed from the above weathering processes are further eroded and deposited in a different place.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
