• A: deposition-sedimentation B: action of agents of weathering C: action of heat and pressure

• A: deposition-sedimentation B: action of heat and pressure C: action of agents of weathering

• A: action of heat and pressure B: action of agents of weathering C: deposition-sedimentation

Answer 1

A: action of agents of weathering B: deposition-sedimentation C: action of heat and pressure

Explanation:

The rock cycle shows how igneous rocks are first broken down by the action of agents of weathering (A) into sediments. These sediments are then transported and laid down through deposition and sedimentation (B) to form sedimentary rocks. When these sedimentary rocks (or igneous rocks) are subjected to heat and pressure (C) within the Earth’s crust, they transform into metamorphic rocks. This continuous cycle explains how the three main rock types are interrelated through natural processes.
