this image shows a model of the rock cycle. at point r, rocks melt underground to form magma. which is another process that contributes to the formation of rock at point r? compacting of sediments on the mountain cooling as the lava runs down the mountain weathering of the mountain from the environment eroding of different rocks at the base of the mountain
Answer
# Answer:
cooling as the lava runs down the mountain
# Brief Explanations:
At point R where rocks melt to form magma, cooling of lava (magma that reaches the surface) is related to rock - formation processes. Compacting of sediments forms sedimentary rocks in other areas, weathering and erosion are surface - altering processes not directly related to magma - rock formation at this point.
