Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Weathering breaks down rock into the components that form sediment. Clastic sediment consists of the minerals and rock fragments remaining from physical weathering and newly formed mineral grains produced by chemical weathering. Chemical sediment consists of minerals precipitated from water. The ions composing these minerals are generated mostly by chemical weathering reactions.
