Answer:
C. part 3
Explanation:
During part 3 of the cycle, water breaks the rocks apart to form sediments.
Part 3 is the erosion and weathering phase.
- Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form soils.
- Water is the main agent of denudation that causes the erosion and weathering of rocks.
- Erosion carries the weathered materials from their site of disintegration.
- These sediments are then transported and deposited to form sedimentary rocks.
Both are igneous rocks, but whereas volcanic rocks are formed from cooling lava on the surface, plutonic rocks are formed from cooling magma below the surface. So plutonic rock is an igneous intrusive rock, while volcanic rock is extrusive.
