A sixth grade teacher takes students on a field trip to the beach. One student finds several pebbles that have a rounded shape and are smooth to the touch. What process most likely shaped these pebbles?

C: The shape of the pebbles is a result of weathering and deposition

Explanation:

For the several pebbles to have a rounded shape and smooth to the touch, it will undergo weathering and deposition. This is because weathering involves breaking down of rocks and creating new sediments. This weathering could be either chemical weathering or physical weathering where Chemical weathering is the decomposition of rocks which are caused by chemical reactions and which result in formation of new compound while physical weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces. On the other hand, deposition occurs when the agents of erosion such as wind or water deposit sediments from one spot to another which in turn changes the shape of the land.

Thus, the shape of the pebbles are as a result weathering of the parent rocks and from deposition.

answer is a

explanation:

weight of any object is given by

w = m*g

where m is mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

for earth the value of g is 9.8 m/s^2 so

w=117.6 n m=12 g=?

117.6=12g => g=9.8 m/s^2

which is the force of gravity on earth.
