Consider the two samples of sedimentary rock seen here.Predict which rock would be more likely to undergo physical weathering. Explain how and why.
A) Sandstone. Sandstone has more obvious layers of sediments.
B) Shale. Shale is fine grained and is more likely to dissolve in water.
C)Sandstone. Sandstone is made of large sand-like grains and is easily eroded by wind
D)Shale. Shale contains iron which is an element that easily combines with the oxygen in the atmosphere to produce rust.​

Answer :

Answer:  A) Sandstone. Sandstone has more obvious layers of sediments.

Step by step explanation: As you take a look at the given pictures, you notice that (Sandstone) Is more closed off than (Shale). So whenever rain comes, rain will seep into the little openings of the rock shale has, causing it to break down.Same for strong wind, since shale isn't as compacted as Sandstorm, then shale will not last very long. Therefore making Sandstone being able to undergo more harsh conditions.
