Students are investigating the types of rocks found in various locations throughout california, the state where they live and attend school. what hypothesis might the students formulate to guide their research on rock formation, given that they live in california?
a) if volcanoes are the source of land masses in california, that most of the rock in the state should be igneous.
b) if california is the site of several plate boundaries, we would expect to see mostly metamorphic rock at the boundary sites.
c) if there is movement at plate boundaries and sediment is the result of erosion, then we would expect to find mostly sedimentary rock at plate boundaries.

d) because there are mountainous regions in california and sedimentary rock is the result of erosion, we would expect to find mostly sedimentary rock in california,
