Sedimentary rock and the weathering, erosion, and lithification processes that produce it is essential to comprehending Earth Science.

This is due to the fact that sedimentary rocks and their common ancestor, sediments, make up the majority of the Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks can form in a variety of ways, but water is always a part of their origin and production. In contrast to metamorphic and igneous rocks, which are generated deep beneath the Earth, sedimentary rocks are formed on or around the surface of the planet.

Erosion, weathering, dissolution, precipitation, and lithification are the main geological processes that result in the formation of sedimentary rocks.

What can cause granite to break down into soil over time? A.Rain and Wind,B.Soil Deposition,C.heat from magma,or D.pressure unde
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Rain and wind will cause granite to break down and form soil over time.

Explanation:

Granite is an igneous rock, and it is one of the hardest rocks for that matter. Being an igneous and very hard rock, granite is not easy to break down and it takes a very long time, tens of millions of years in fact, and that is only if it is on the surface and exposed to the outside elements. Basically, this rock needs a very long period of time to get transformed into soil, but like any other rock it is not unbreakable and eventually, it starts to break up.

Two things that will have a big influence on the breaking up of granite would be rain and wind. The rain will cause chemical weathering while the wind will cause mechanical weathering. They will manage to gradually break up very small, fine, pieces of granite, and if they are supported by suitable climatic conditions and a lot of vegetation the process will speed up. Once the granite is broken apart and what is left of it is fine sediments, by mixing with the biomass it will form a soil.

Modern depositional rates of carbonate sediment in the Caribbean Sea are 1.55cm/1,000yrs. Given this rate, how long would it tak
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

In order to deposit 100 meters of limestone layer, it will take 6,451,600 years

Explanation:

Given that,

The rate of deposition carbonate sediments is 1.55 cm in 1,000 years

⇒ 1.55 cm = 1,000 years

⇒ 1 cm = \frac{1000}{1.55}

⇒ 1 cm = 645.16 years

∵ 1 m = 100 cm

∴ 100 m = 100 × 100 cm

⇒ 100 m = 10,000 cm

So, the time it will take for carbonate to deposit 100 m thick layer of limestone will be-

⇒ 10,000 cm (100 meter) =  645.16 × 10,000 years

⇒ 100 meters = 6,451,600 years
