a man is using one type of stone to break another. As the stones are broken apart, very tiny pieces are completely pulverized and are swept into the area around the large stone. What can be said about the soil near the large stone?
Earth’s surface contains more water than land.
It has a chemical composition similar to the stone because of the pulverized rock settling there.
fine sand and silt
A mid-ocean ridge, due to the separation of two plates.
It contains a liquid outer region surrounding a solid iron core.
Edges of crustal plates.
They move several centimeters each year because of convection within Earth.
By the disintegration and weathering of rocks such as limestone, granite, quartz and shale.
How does sandy soil form?
