What rock formed in layers?
sedimentary rock
What type of rock have flat layers?
Sedimentary rocks have flat layers.
What breaks layers because of cleavage?
Cleavage breaks the layers of rock due to poor distribution of minerals within the rocks. The impact of breakage will depend on the types of minerals that are present.
When rock fragments get compressed and hardened to form layers of rocks they are known as?
metamorphic rocks
What are rocks that form when layers of rock particles are squeezed or stuck together?
Sedimentary Rocks
What is the difference between relative ages of and relative position of rocks?
Age is how old the rock is relative to other rocks, position is where the rock is in relation to other rocks. Tectonic motion and other forces can easily turn a portion of the Earths crust upside down resulting in older rock lying above younger layers.
What rocks is formed in layers?
Sedimentary rock, like limestone, is formed in layers.
What rock formed in layers?
sedimentary rock
What type of rock have flat layers?
Sedimentary rocks have flat layers.
What kind of rock is made up of layers?
Sedimentary Rock is made up of layers of different rocks.
What is rock sequencing?
Rock sequencing is a set of rocks that are contained in layers.
What breaks layers because of cleavage?
Cleavage breaks the layers of rock due to poor distribution of minerals within the rocks. The impact of breakage will depend on the types of minerals that are present.
Which is an example of relative dating?
One example of relative dating is studying the layers of rock in a particular area. By analyzing the sequence of rock layers and the fossils within them, scientists can determine the relative ages of the rocks and the fossils they contain.
What are the layers of rock made of?
Layers or strata in sedimentary rock are composed of deposited smaller rock particles and possibly organic matter.
What are rock layers disturbances?
rock layers disturbed bo forces within the Earth
How are rock layers arranging the geologic column?
The oldest rocks (layers) are at the bottom. The youngestrocks (layers) are at the top
Do conglomerate rocks have layers?
You will find that all rocks in nature are divided into layers known as strata, where each rock bed consists of a different rock. All rocks exist in strata, even if other strata are not visible. If you meant 'Do conglomerate rocks have layers within them?"; the formation of conglomerate means that there is no sorting or stratification, though the contained fragments are rounded. Therefore we can conclude that naturally and left to its own devices, conglomerate does not have layers. Alternatively, a joint in the rock may give the impression of a layer division as the pattern is offset and erratic. However, this is not to be confused with any layers that a different rock type may contain, as this is due the stress exerted on the rock, forcing the weakest lines to split.
