Rocks are made up of different compounds. Gases like nitrogen, oxygen and water vapour and some non-metallic oxides react with these compounds to form new compounds and then break down into fine particles, due to breaking of bonds between the atoms, caused by the reaction of gases.This leads to break down of rocks into fine particles

Some rocks are sedimental. They are soft. Rocks are made out of gases etc. So some of the gas in the air makes a reaction with the rock which helps break the rock down.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The correct answer is rough, white tents

Explanation:

The options that have black tents are wrong because black materials absorbs heat, hence cannot protect the family from the heat from the sun during the reunion.

Also light/heat energy easily penetrate smooth surfaces as against rough surfaces. From this explanation, rough, white tents are better for the reunion as they will protect the family from the heat radiated from the sun.
