question: which two forces drive the rock cycle on earth? answer options: select one of four the suns distance and the moons orbit the internal heat engine and the water cycle weathering and erosion climate change and greenhouse gasses

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The rock cycle is driven by internal and external forces. The internal heat engine (from Earth's interior, causing processes like plate tectonics, metamorphism, and igneous activity) and the water cycle (driven by solar energy, involved in weathering, erosion, and sedimentation which are external processes) are the key drivers. The sun’s distance and moon’s orbit don't directly drive the rock cycle. Weathering and erosion are part of the processes driven by the external force (related to the water cycle and solar energy) but not the main driving forces themselves. Climate change and greenhouse gases are not primary drivers of the rock cycle.

Answer:

The internal heat engine and the water cycle
