Question 1(multiple choice worth 3 points) rock particles that result from weathering can be cemented as a mineral. a crystal an igneous rock. a metamorphic rock. a sedimentary rock

Sedimentary rock type

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are directly derived from the broken particles of the pre-existing rocks. When rocks undergoes weathering, the sediments are transported from one place to another by means of agent such as wind, water and ice. These transported sediments are then deposited at a different place. With time, these sediments are compacted and lithified and forms a sedimentary rock.

The compaction process allows the sediments to stick to one another, providing the cementing materials such as silica, calcite as well as hematite. This compaction and lithification of sediments give rise to the formation of sedimentary types of rocks.
