The hydrologic, rock, and tectonic cycles are all interconnected. In the rock cycle, water moves regolith during _____, and the tectonic cycle resurfaces rock through _____.

Question

erosion, uplifting
weathering, converging
metamorphism, weathering
saturation, subduction

Answer 1

In the rock cycle, water moves regolith during weathering, and the tectonic cycle resurfaces rock through uplifting.

So the correct answer is: weathering, uplifting.

Answer 2

thats not an option?

Answer 3

I apologize for the oversight. Let’s evaluate the options you provided:

1. erosion, uplifting
2. weathering, converging
3. metamorphism, weathering
4. saturation, subduction

Given these options, the most appropriate choice would be:

erosion, uplifting

In the rock cycle, water helps transport regolith during erosion, and the tectonic cycle does resurface rock through uplifting processes. Thank you for your understanding!
