Which statement explains the fact that sediments on earth's surface often differ in composition from the local bedrock?

Sediments are transported from place to place is the correct answer, hoped this helped!

answer: enthalpy

explanation:

for a exothermic reaction, the energy is released i.e. the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

= enthaply

= energy of products

= energy of reactants

as , thus comes out to be negative. negative value of enthalpy shows that the reaction is exothermic.
