Question

what is a result of weathering?
○ rocks are broken apart.
○ sediment is compacted together.
○ bits of rock are transported from place to place.
○ bits of rock are cemented together.

Explanation:

Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces through physical or chemical means. Sediment compaction, transportation of rock bits, and cementation of rock bits are part of sedimentation and lithification (formation of sedimentary rocks), not weathering. Breaking rocks apart is the direct result of weathering.

Answer:

A. Rocks are broken apart.
