JACOB TAKES A TRIP WITH HIS FAMILY TO ARIZONA. HE OBSERVES THE LAND AROUND HIM AND IS TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT HAS CAUSED THE ROCK FORMATIONS. REFER TO THE PICTURE BELOW. WHAT CONCLUSION CAN YOU DRAW ON HOW THE FORMATIONS WERE FORMED?
U. THIS AN EXAMPLE OF EROSION BECAUSE WATER MOVED THE ROCKS HERE TO FORM A FORMATION.
N. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WEATHERING BECAUSE THE WATER DISSOLVED THE ROCK LEAVING A FORMATION.
C. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF COMPACTION BECAUSE BROKEN ROCK DEPOSITED HERE TO CREATE THE FORMATION.
