__________________________ - A natural resource that cannot replenish at the rate it is used

_______________________ -   A natural resource that can replenish within a relatively short time

 ________________ - A natural resource made of ancient organisms and formed over
millions of years

________ - A nonrenewable fossil fuel that was formed from ancient marine organisms that were buried by sediment for millions of years

Which list shows the correct order of processes needed for sedimentary rock formation?

5.10.B

Question 4

Which statement best describes the processes of weathering and erosion?

Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for the breakdown of any type of rock into smaller particles and the carrying away of the loose sediments.

Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for depositing loose sediments on the bottom of the ocean, forming layers of sediment.

Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for the amount of water in a river that transports sediments to the sea.

Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for the transportation, deposition, and compaction of loose sediments on the seafloor.
