Question

Based on the rock cycle, which statement correctly describes the sediments that form sedimentary rocks?(1 point) Responses Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can all become sediments after years of compaction and cementation. Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can all become sediments after years of compaction and cementation. Only igneous and metamorphic rocks can become sediments after years of compaction and cementation. Only igneous and metamorphic rocks can become sediments after years of compaction and cementation. Only igneous and metamorphic rocks can become sediments after years of erosion. Only igneous and metamorphic rocks can become sediments after years of erosion. Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can all become sediments after years of erosion.

Answer 1

The correct statement is: **Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can all become sediments after years of erosion.**

In the rock cycle, all three types of rocks—igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary—can break down into smaller particles or sediments through weathering and erosion. These sediments can then be compacted and cemented to form new sedimentary rocks.
