What do these two changes have in common? crushing a mineral into powder breaking a ceramic plate

[ "Both are only physical changes.", "Both are caused by cooling.", "Both are caused by heating.", "Both are chemical changes." ]

A

Step 1: Think about each change. Crushing a mineral into powder is a physical change. The mineral breaks into tiny pieces. But it is still made of the same type of matter. Breaking a ceramic plate is a physical change. The plate gets broken into pieces. But each piece is still made of the same type of matter. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Both changes are physical changes. No new matter is created. Both are chemical changes. Both changes are physical changes. They are not chemical changes. Both are caused by heating. Neither change is caused by heating. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.
