Question

question 21 2 pts clay minerals are commonly produced through which of the following processes? metasomatism hydration oxidation hydrolysis question 22 2 pts which property of clastic rocks would you use to differentiate between a conglomerate and a breccia? sorting bedding rounding composition

Explanation:

For Question 21, hydrolysis is a common process for the formation of clay minerals as it involves the chemical breakdown of minerals in the presence of water. For Question 22, conglomerates have rounded clasts while breccias have angular clasts, so rounding is the key property for differentiation.
