What are the Himalayas made of?
Mount Everest is made up of sedimentary rocks.
If you wanted to know whether a certain mountain was formed by compression what would you look for?
To determine if a mountain was formed by compression, you would look for folded and faulted rock layers, as well as evidence of intense pressure causing rocks to deform. Additionally, you might find evidence of compression in the form of thrust faults or folded strata within the mountain. Lastly, examining the types of rocks and their orientation can also provide clues about the mountain's formation.
Why do sedimentary rock layers become folded and faulted as you move from west to east?
That would depend on the location on Earth that you were moving west to east along. The movement from west to east can be undertaken anywhere on Earth.
Rocks being pushed together is what?
Rocks being pushed together is called compression. This can result in the rocks being folded, faulted, or metamorphosed depending on the amount of force applied.
How do the sequence of sedimentary rocks in cratons differ from those in mountain belts?
The sequences of sedimentary rocks in cratons are typically thin and are relatively undeformed or gently warped. The sequences in mountain belts, meanwhile, are thick and extensively folded and faulted.
What kind of landscape is usually found where many types of bedrock have been folded and faulted?
In regions where various types of bedrock have been folded and faulted, a complex and rugged landscape typically emerges. This can include features such as steep hills, valleys, and ridges, often characterized by dramatic elevations and variable topography. Such landscapes are often found in orogenic (mountain-building) zones, where tectonic forces create significant geological diversity and complexity. Erosion can further shape these areas, revealing different rock types and creating unique geological formations.
The cascades are found on which continent?
If you do not capitalize "cascades" then it only means "falling (water)" and there are cascades on every continent. If you mean The Cascades (with the capital "C") then the answer is North America.
What is the population of Cascades Region?
Cascades Region's population is 524,956.
How does the age of a fault compare to the age of the rocks that are actually faulted?
The fault will be younger than the rocks it faulted (cross-cutting relationships).
What is the area of Cascades Region?
The area of Cascades Region is 18,406 square kilometers.
What is the population of Roquefort-les-Cascades?
Roquefort-les-Cascades's population is 100.
What is the population of Gimel-les-Cascades?
The population of Gimel-les-Cascades is 704.
