Question

practice it! select the statement(s) that accurately support why the grand canyon is made of a large number of sedimentary rocks. the grand canyon has an arid, desert - like climate. the majority of the grand canyon was formed from the heat and pressure along tectonic plate boundaries. the rock formations in the grand canyon are formed in observable layers. the grand canyon was formed as a result of erosion and deposition of sediments. the grand canyon is in an area that was covered by water early in its geological history.

Explanation:

Los sedimentos se depositan en capas y la erosión y deposición de sedimentos, así como el hecho de que fue cubierto por agua en su historia geológica temprana y que las formaciones rocosas se presentan en capas observables, son factores que explican la presencia de rocas sedimentarias en el Gran Cañón. La clima árida no explica directamente la presencia de rocas sedimentarias y la formación por calor y presión de placas tectónicas se asocia más con rocas metamórficas.

Answer:

• The rock formations in the Grand Canyon are formed in observable layers.
• The Grand Canyon was formed as a result of erosion and deposition of sediments.
• The Grand Canyon is in an area that was covered by water early in its geological history.
