a. true
b. false
question 3 of 18
weathering and erosion can happen to to any rock, in due time. (1 point)
a. true
b. false
question 4 of 18
a majority of the earths surface is sedimentary rock, because that is where the weathering takes place
a. true
b. false
question 5 of 18
an intrusive rock is also a(n) rock. (1 point)
a. igneous
b. metamorphic
c. sedimentary

Explanation:

• Question 2: The rock cycle indicates that any rock (igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic) can transform into another type over time due to geological processes like heat, pressure, weathering, etc.
• Question 3: Weathering (physical, chemical, biological breakdown) and erosion (transport of weathered material) are natural processes that can act on any rock exposed to the Earth's surface or near - surface environments.
• Question 4: Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediments (weathered products of other rocks). Since weathering occurs on the Earth's surface, and sediments accumulate there, a majority of the Earth's surface (about 75 - 80%) is covered by sedimentary rocks.
• Question 5: Intrusive rocks are formed when magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface. Igneous rocks are classified into intrusive (plutonic) and extrusive (volcanic) based on their mode of formation. Metamorphic rocks form from pre - existing rocks under heat and pressure, and sedimentary rocks form from sediment accumulation.

Answer:

• Question 2: A. True
• Question 3: A. true
• Question 4: A. True
• Question 5: A. Igneous
