I NEED HELP FAST Weathering is a process in the rock cycle. How does weathering contribute to the formation of rocks?
Here are the answers
It increases the temperature and creates metamorphic rock.

It deposits sediment and forms sedimentary rock.

It breaks down rock into smaller pieces that can become sedimentary rock.

It causes lava to cool and harden into igneous rock.

It breaks down rock into smaller pieces that can become sedimentary rock.

Explanation:

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.

The process of weathering is very important for the formation of rocks because it breaks down rocks into smaller pieces.

relative dating involves things like higher layers are most recent than rocks lower in the sequence. this can be extended to the known sequence of fossils. rocks containing rabbit fossils are later than those containing dinosaur fossils.  

absolute dating methods mainly use radioactive elements that have known rates of decay and produce recognizable products. for example potassium 40 decays to produce argon. once a rock has solidified the argon is trapped. by measuring the argon and potassium0 you can get an accurate number for the age.  

some other methods are good for archaeological ages. dendrochronology involves recognizing the sequence of tree rings. the orientation of magnetized particles in baked clay can be used to date a fire.

the types of mutations include: missense mutation: this type of mutation is a change in one dna base pair that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene. nonsense mutation: a nonsense mutation is also a change in one dna base pair.
