Explanation:
A granite can be transformed from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock and then to a metamorphic rock or the sedimentary rock can be transformed back into granite again by metamorphism. First of all, a granite often occurs in mountains and is susceptible to weathering and erosion.. Weathering such as argillic weathering can help break t he rock down to its constituent minerals which are mostly quartz, orthoclase feldspar and biotite mica. This then gets washed down into the rivers and thence to the coast and gets deposited in a marine environment as part of a delta or alluvial fan, in the form of sand, silt, clay and gravel. As this sediment becomes compacted, it turns into rocks like sandstone, siltstone etc. With deeper burial and the addition of heat and pressure these rocks get converted into such metamorphic rocks as quartzites, slates and phyllites, etc. I have seen a meta sandstone grade into a granite in the Canadian Shield so granite can then form from metamorphic processes as well as igneous processes.
The correct answer is - A. replacing natural vegetation with cultivated crops.
The natural vegetation is perfectly adapted to a certain environment, and it is also able to keep the soil tight with its roots, so the erosion is minimal.
When the natural vegetation is replaced by cultivated crops, than a problem occurs in the erosion of the soil. That is because the cultivated crops, in general, do not have root systems that are as strong and widespread as the natural vegetation, thus the soil becomes loosened up, so it is much easier to be eroded.
Calcrete or Caliche is a type of sedimentary rock often found in arid and semiarid regions. It is composed of calcium carbonate with bits of gravel, clay and silt. It is found in Australia, Kalahari Desert, Sonoran and Mojave desert. Note that caliche does not form through dissolution and reprecipitation of rainwater. Rather, it forms when water from the ground rise above through capillary action, bringing up minerals from the ground into the surface.
