Question

which of these is one way that sedimentary rocks form?
through the evaporation of water in arid (dry) regions
through intense heat and pressure
through melting and solidification

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine how sedimentary rocks form:

  • "Through intense heat and pressure" forms metamorphic rocks, not sedimentary.
  • "Through melting and solidification" forms igneous rocks.
  • "Through the evaporation of water in arid (dry) regions" is one way (evaporite formation) for sedimentary rocks, as dissolved minerals precipitate when water evaporates.

Answer:

Through the evaporation of water in arid (dry) regions
