Q: Hard igneous rocks and easily dissolved sedimentary rocks respond very differently to what natural force? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Each type of rock weathers in its own way. Certain types of rock are very resistant to weathering. Igneous rocks tend to weather slowly because they are hard. Water cannot easily penetrate them. Granite is a very stable igneous rock. Other types of rock are easily weathered because they dissolve easily in weak acids. Limestone is a sedimentary rock that dissolves easily. When softer rocks wear away, the more resistant rocks form ridges or hills. Choices: - gravity - sunlight - evaporation - weathering A:
**Answer**
weathering

Q: Why are seeds of a pine cone easily carried by the wind and dispersed? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: One such strategy is to allow the wind to carry the seeds. With special adaptations in the seeds, the seeds can be carried long distances by the wind. For example, you might have noticed how the "fluff" of a dandelion moves in the wind. Each piece of fluff carries a seed to a new location. If you look under the scales of pine cone, you will see tiny seeds with "wings" that allow these seeds to be carried away by the wind. Maple trees also have specialized fruits with wing-like parts that help seed dispersal ( Figure below ). Choices: - seeds are sticky - seeds are small - seeds are dense - seeds have wings A:
**Answer**
seeds have wings
