Answer:  An Esker

Explanation:

An esker( derived from the irish word , eiscir means elevation) is a long, low ridge of  sand and gravel strata  occurring  in glaciated regions and formed by deposition of sediments from glacial melt water.

Eskers appear the same and are usually found in  Europe and North America regions occupying many  kilometres like railway lines.A very common example of such Eskers  is the Eiscir Riada, which runs 200km from Dublin  to Galway.

[rm.02]an igneous rock interacts with wind and water over a long period of time. which of these is most likely formed as a resul
kirill115 [55]
Sediments is most likely to be as a result of the interaction.

As wind and water are both weathering agents that cause the fragments of rocks to loosen,under the pull of gravity the fragments will fall off and sediments will be formed.

Reason why these are incorrect:

Lava and magma- Rocks has to be molten under an extremely high temperature to turn back into magma of lava,as the high
temperature is not present,the formation is impossible.

Metamorphic rock- It requires either high temperature or high pressure to lead to the formation of metamorphic rock, however the conditions are not present, thus this is incorrect.

Details of weathering:
The water would seep into the joints of the igneous rock as it is well-jointed,and carry out chemical weathering.
The materials such as feldspar and mica are nit weather-resistance hence easily loosen after weathering take place,causing the fragments to fall off.

Hope it helps!
