A student wants to model the physical weathering of rock. Which activity could the student perform? (1 point)

Question

O Place several cookies in a box, and then shake the box

Place ice cream in a bowl, and then watch it mell

Place a paper boat in a ditch, and then use water from a hose to make it said away

Place drops of acid on chalk, and then observe the chemical reaction.

Answer 1

The best activity for modeling physical weathering of rock is:

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

This activity simulates the mechanical breakdown of rock through physical processes such as abrasion and fracturing, similar to how rocks are weathered by physical forces in nature. The other options involve chemical changes or melting processes, which do not accurately represent physical weathering.
