Question

A student wants to model the
physical weathering of rock.
Which activity could the
student perform? (1 point)
Place drops of acid on
chalk, and then
observe the chemical
reaction.
Place ice cream in a
bowl, and then watch it
melt.
Place a paper boat in a
ditch, and then use
water from a hose to
make it sail away.
Place several cookies
in a box, and then
shake the box.

Answer 1

The most suitable activity for modeling the physical weathering of rock is:

**Place several cookies in a box, and then shake the box.**

This activity simulates physical weathering as the shaking represents mechanical processes that break down larger particles (like rocks) into smaller pieces without altering their chemical composition, similar to how physical weathering occurs in nature.
