Question

compaction occurs when deeply buried rock pieces are forced together by pressure. compaction is involved in which of the following geological processes? a. igneous rock uplift b. sedimentary rock formation c. igneous rock erosion d. metamorphic rock weathering

Explanation:

Compaction is a key process where sediment particles are pressed together by overlying weight, which is part of the formation of sedimentary rocks. Igneous rock uplift, erosion, and metamorphic rock weathering do not involve this compaction step for rock formation.

Answer:

B. sedimentary rock formation
