Question

do now 10-3-25 #11 water is a solvent. this property of water results in which of the following during the water cycle? a. rain has bits of rock in it. b. hail is hard. c. rivers stop running. d. minerals are washed into the sea.

Explanation:

Water as a solvent can dissolve minerals. During the water - cycle, when water moves over rocks and through soil, it dissolves minerals and carries them along. Eventually, these minerals are washed into the sea. Rain having bits of rock is more related to erosion, hail being hard is related to freezing processes, and rivers stopping running is related to factors like drought or blockage, not the solvent property of water.

Answer:

D. Minerals are washed into the sea.
