The process of laying sediment down is
deposition
ice forms in the crack during the winter
alternate freezing and thawing mechanically weathers rock
they become part of the soil
acid rain
a change in the path the river takes
weathering and erosion of Earth's surface exposed the rock
the statue was exposed to chemical weathering
Stone Mountain is one of the largest exposed pieces of granite in the world. Granite is an intrusive igneous deep beneath Earth's surface. How can the exposure of Stone Mountain best be explained?
