Answer: a: which component of earth"s geology is believed to have been largely responsible for the long- term climate stability that has allowed life to evolve, global magnetism, seismic activity, plate tectonics, erosion and weathering.

Given this, they are most likely to be classified as: meteoritic, metamorphic, sedimentary, igneous. Answer: d: rocks are found on the surface of another planet which appear to have been formed at the bottom of an ancient ocean. Given this, they are most likely to be classified as: metamorphic, igneous, meteoritic, sedimentary. 2: rocks are found on the surface of another planet which appear to have once been transformed at high temperatures and pressures deep within the planet. Given this, they are most likely to be classified as: igneous, meteoritic, sedimentary, metamorphic.
