Oxygen is the most abundant element in the Earth's crust, comprising about 46.6% of its mass.

Oxygen is not a major component of the Earth's mantle, which is primarily composed of silicon, magnesium, and iron.

Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by the action of water, wind, ice, and other natural forces.

Metamorphic weathering is not a type of weathering. Metamorphism is a process that occurs when rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, causing them to change their mineral composition and texture.

Deposition is the process by which sediments are deposited in a new location by the action of water, wind, ice, or gravity.

Metamorphic rock is not a type of sedimentary rock. Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, causing them to change their mineral composition and texture.

Metamorphism is the process by which rocks are changed into new rocks with different mineral compositions and textures due to the action of high temperatures and pressures.

Igneous rock is not a type of metamorphic rock. Igneous rocks are formed when magma or lava cools and solidifies.

Igneous activity is the process by which magma or lava cools and solidifies, forming igneous rocks.

Sedimentary rock is not a type of igneous rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments are deposited and compacted over time.

Dissolution is the process by which rocks are broken down into ions and dissolved in water.

Physical weathering is not a type of chemical weathering. Physical weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by the action of water, wind, ice, and other natural forces.

Metamorphism is the process by which rocks are changed into new rocks with different mineral compositions and textures due to the action of high temperatures and pressures.

Igneous rock is not a type of metamorphic rock. Igneous rocks are formed when magma or lava cools and solidifies.
