What do you mean by then?
Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
Sedimentary rocks are those rocks that are formed due to the compaction and lithification of sediments.
When the rocks are weathered by the agents such as wind, water and ice, the sediments or the particles are carried from that particular area to a different place. The sediments are then continuously deposited in a different place. As a result of which the sediments are accumulated over one another, forming layers. These sediments over a due course of time undergoes compaction and solidification due to the weight of the overlying rocks. This is how the sedimentary rocks are formed. Some of the examples of sedimentary rocks are sandstone, limestone, shale, and mudstone.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
No they aren’t the same thing
The correct order is:
B. Rain water is stored in rock and seeps into a hairline crack during a rainfall;
E. The temperature falls below 0° Celsius;
D. Rainwater in the rock crack freezes into ice;
C. Because ice occupies more space than water, the ice wedges the crack open:
A. The freeze-thaw cycle continues to deepen the crack until the rock splits into 2 pieces;
The water from the rain gradually manages to weather parts of the rock. As it does, small cracks appear in it. Once there's cracks, the water from the rainfall also starts to store inside the rock. When the colder period of the year comes, and the temperatures fall bellow 0°C, the stored water freezes. The ice starts to spread inside the crack, thus creating pressure inside the rock. As the pressure is becoming bigger and bigger, the rock will eventually crack into two or more pieces.
