question 1
the rock cycle relies on ___ to convert rock into usable particles to form other types of rock.
pressure
burial
extreme heat
erosion
Erosion breaks down rocks into smaller particles. These particles can then be transported and deposited to form sedimentary rocks, a key part of the rock - cycle process. Pressure and extreme heat change the form of existing rocks but not directly into small usable particles like erosion does. Burial is part of the process for sedimentary rock formation but does not convert rock into particles.
