Answer:
A is Sediments
B is metamorphic rock
C is sedimentary rocks
D is weathering
Explanation:
A represent smaller particles of rocks known as sediments. From the picture above sedimentary rocks, igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks were broken into smaller constituent due to events like weathering(D). Weathering disintegrated these rocks into smaller particles (sediments).
B is rock known as metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed from igneous, sedimentary or even metamorphic rocks. The major factor behind metamorphic rocks formation is temperature and pressure. Generally, the parents rocks never melts, the transformation usually occur in a solid state. Metamorphism is a process that is usually accompanied with change in mineral assemblage , physical attribute of the rocks or both. From the picture above the sedimentary rocks(C) was converted to metamorphic rocks due to temperature and pressure . Same occurrence was present in the conversion of igneous rocks to metamorphic rocks(B)
C is a sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from smaller particles of the weathered rocks. The smaller particles are known as sediments. This sediments are then cemented and compacted by cementing agents to form sedimentary rocks.
D is a process, which is known as weathering. Weathering is the disintegration of rocks into smaller particles to form sediments . Weathering may involve change in the chemical composition of rocks or just a physical change . From the picture above igneous rocks, metamorphic rock and sedimentary rocks were weathered to form sediments(A).
