How many main causes cause mechanical weathering?
There are two main causes of mechanical weathering: frost action and abrasion. Frost action occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, causing the rocks to break apart. Abrasion happens when rocks are physically broken down by forces like wind, water, or glaciers.
What rock cycle process causes many sedimentary rocks to have visible layers?
The rock cycle process that causes many sedimentary rocks to have visible layers is called sedimentation. This process involves the accumulation of sediments, such as sand, silt, and clay, in layers over time. As more and more sediments are deposited and compacted, the layers become more distinct, creating the visible stratification seen in sedimentary rocks.
What color are rocks?

Would you expect extrusive rocks produced by an explosion volcano to be light or dark in color?
The color of igneous rocks is tied to their composition. Rocks (minerals) that have a high concentration of Fe, Mg and Ca, tend to be darker colored than those that are rich in Al, Si, and K. So, the volcanic rocks like rhyolite are light in color due to their composition. However, there are many volcanic rocks, like andesites, that are a bit darker, and those form from explosive volcanoes like the Cascade volcanoes of western North America.
