Question

  1. sedimentary rock may be formed by weathering, sedimentation and lithification of

sedimentary rock
all choices are correct
igneous rock
metamorphic rock

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Sedimentary rocks are formed through weathering (breaking down of pre - existing rocks), sedimentation (deposition of sediments), and lithification (compaction and cementation of sediments). Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of pre - existing rocks due to heat, pressure, and chemical processes. So, the formation process described in the question (weathering, sedimentation, and lithification) is specific to sedimentary rocks.

Answer:

Sedimentary rock
