What else can I help you with?
Does the Earth have Moon rocks?
Rocks were brought back to the Earth from the various Moon landings the Americans undertook. No other rocks from the Moon are on Earth. The Moon was formed from the Earth - so, if anything, there are Earth rocks on the Moon.
What were the first kind sof rocks on Earth's surface?
The initial rocks (apart from those direct from bolides) would have been volcanic rocks derived from the magma. This would have been in the late Hadean period of the Earth's history.
What pieces of other planets have been found on earth?
rocks
Why can't geologists use rocks from earth to learn how long ago earth formed?
Geologists can't use rocks from Earth to determine the planet's age because those rocks have all been recycled through the rock cycle over time. This means that the original rocks from when Earth formed no longer exist. Instead, geologists use radiometric dating of rocks from Earth's surface to estimate its age.
Why sedimentary rocks could not have been the first rocks on earth?
Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation of sediment such as sand, silt, or clay. For sedimentary rocks to form, there must be pre-existing rocks that weather and erode to produce sediment. Therefore, sedimentary rocks could not have been the first rocks on Earth as they require the presence of older rocks to form.
Were rocks been changing since the beginning of the earth's creation?
Yes.
What portion of the Moon's rocks is gold?
Zero. No gold was found in any of the rocks that have been brought back to earth.
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten within the Earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks.
How are faults intrusions and extrusions similar?
Faults, intrusions, and extrusions are all geologic features related to the movement of the Earth's crust. Faults are fractures along which rocks have moved, intrusions are igneous rocks that have been forced into pre-existing rocks, and extrusions are igneous rocks that have been extruded onto the Earth's surface. They all involve the movement and displacement of rocks, contributing to the shaping of the Earth's crust.
Why can't geologist use rocks from earth to learn how long ago earth formed?
Because all of the rocks that were around when Earth formed have been recycled by plate tectonics and erosion. Hoped I helped!!
What are detrital rocks formed from?
Detrital sedimentary rocks, also called clastic sedimentary rocks, are composed of rock fragments that have been weathered from pre-existing rocks. They are the most common rocks on the surface of the earth.
Is a hammer physical sciencelife science or earth science?
physical because it has been made so it is not earth and it isn't really a life science
