Question

7 reina is making museum exhibits about two different rock types. how could energy have played a role in the different rock types forming? a energy causes different types of rock to change in different ways. energy changes igneous rock into liquid rock and changes sedimentary rock into small pieces of rock. b energy caused one rock type to form, but not the other. rock that forms because of energy is a different type of rock than rock that forms without energy. c energy from different sources leads to different types of rock. energy inside earth melts rock into liquid rock, but energy from the sun causes rock to weather into small pieces. d energy changes rock on different continents in different ways. each continent on earth has different rock that might form liquid rock or small rock pieces when exposed to energy.

Explanation:

Energy from various sources affects rock - formation and change. Internal Earth energy (like from magma) can melt rocks into liquid rock (magma), while solar - powered processes (such as temperature changes and wind) cause weathering of rocks into small pieces. Option c correctly describes these different energy - source effects on rock types.

Answer:

C. Energy from different sources leads to different types of rock. Energy inside Earth melts rock into liquid rock, but energy from the sun causes rock to weather into small pieces.
