Faults can form in which layer of the earth?
Faults are formed at the outer solid layers of the Earth. They are developed within the earths crust or Lithosphere.
Is a rock with visible layers and no minerals likely to have formed lava hardening on Earth's surface?
yes
Why earth has layers?
Geologists believe that Earth's layers separated because of their different densities. Shortly after Earth formed, 4.6 billion years ago, it was bombarded with meteorites. The impact of the meteorites created enough heat to melt some of Earth's rocks. Once these rocks melted, the densest materials sank deep into Earth's center. This is what formed the core. The lighter materials floated to the top, forming the crust. The mantle, in between the crust and the core, formed from what was left.
What does this drastic change in rock layers tell the geologist about Earth's history in the area where these layers formed?
The environment changed suddenly from a shallow ocean setting to a river system.
Why do scientists believe that the earth developed in a series of layers?
because the earth as it builds up over time new layers formed from the techtonic plates each layer probobly has their own plates but not discovered yet and when convergent bounderies made mountains and more land, the earth made new layers that were capable of living on
How are earth layers formed?
sedimenatary rock create layers in the surface of the earth and eruptions from volcanoes also make layers of the earth.
In which of the earth's layers are diamond formed?
Diamonds are usually formed in the mantle.
What are facts on how the layers of the earth was formed?
No one knows for sure about how the layers formed. Scientists are trying to find out how. SORRY : (
How did the layers of Earth form?
It happened right when the earth was formed by other weird stuff.
How did earth end up with layers?
Earth was once a big ball which contain pangea and godwanaland.layer where formed then.
How do scientists believe the layers of the earth were formed?
dust and ice and other partcials
How sedimentary rocks form?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when eroded earth builds up
Why are the continents older than the oceans?
because they formed first along with the layers inside the earth
What caused earth layers as it cools?
The difference in composition is what caused the Earth to develop layers as it cooled.!Differences in density caused earth to develop layers as it cooled.The earth has different layers because as it formed, the lighter parts (like continental crust) floated to the surface, and the really heavy parts (like iron and nickel in the core) sank to the middle.
