Question

What process is missing from the model at number 3?


the process of melting, where heat causes solid rocks to change into liquid


the process of weathering, where rocks are broken down into smaller pieces


the process of uplift, where cooled rocks are pushed upward to Earth's surface


the process of crystallization, where rock composition changes due to heat

Question 11.



Which two relationships are correct based on the information in the passage?


Rocks at the surface are subject to weathering.


Rocks can only form from cooling lava.


Rocks receive heat and pressure from the Sun's energy.


Rocks can melt and become magma.


Rocks always begin as a metamo

Answer 1

1) The missing process at number 3 is uplift (where cooled rocks are pushed upward to Earth's surface).

2) The two correct relationships are:
- Rocks at the surface are subject to weathering.
- Rocks can melt and become magma.

Brief rationale: Weathering acts on surface rocks, and heating (from Earth’s interior) can melt rocks into magma. Uplift is needed in the rock cycle to bring deep rocks to the surface so they can be weathered.
