Rocks found in a river bed would typically be what type of rocks?
Rocks found in a river bed are typically rounded and smooth due to the erosion caused by the flowing water. These rocks are often composed of hard, durable materials like quartz, granite, or basalt.
Is a plateau created by sediment deposits?
Generally, Yes, but not necessarily. Plateaus are generally created by an upwards thrust of the crust, pushing a flat rock bed further up than the surrounding area. The rock beds closest to the surface are usually either sedimentary rock layers (which are created by compacted sediment deposits) or sedimentary rock layers with intrusive igneous rocks. There are some plateaus that have metamorphic rock beds because the crust has been significantly eroded, warped, or overturned, but metamorphic rocks can be altered sedimentary or igneous rocks.
Are sedimetary rocks formed from heat and pressure?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from buildup of sediment, or particles of dirt and organic debris and things like that. Think of sedimentary rocks like the bottom of a river bed- stuff builds up on top until it becomes hard and solid- a rock, so pressure is a factor, but not necessarily heat. It is usually metamorphic rocks that involve both heat and pressure.
Which location would most likely produce sedimentary rocks a dried-up lake bed of the side of a volcano?
A dried-up lake bed would most likely produce sedimentary rocks as the sediments from the lake would settle and be compacted over time. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments. On the side of a volcano, you would expect more volcanic and igneous rocks to form from the volcanic activity.
What kind of rock is river stone?
River stones are typically sedimentary rocks like sandstone, limestone, or shale that have been smoothed and rounded by the action of water in rivers over time. They can also include igneous rocks such as granite or basalt that have eroded from upstream sources and been transported by the river.
What fundamental concept states that in a horizontal sequence of conformable sedimentary strata each higher bed is younger than the bed below it?
The fundamental concept you are referring to is the Law of Superposition. It states that in an undisturbed sequence of sedimentary rocks, the oldest rocks are found at the bottom, while the youngest rocks are found at the top.
Where can you find orthoclase?
Orthoclase can typically be found in granite and igneous rocks. It is also commonly present in some metamorphic rocks.
What a river causes by removing rocks and soil from itys river bed?
erosion. and due to that erosion we get sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rocks can't be dated?
Sedimentary rocks cannot be given an absolute date by radiometric testing, but they can be given an estimated date from a few geological laws, for example if a bed of desert sandstone ins under a bed of limestone there is a law that says that the sandstone is older.
What are the links between metamorphic and igneous and sedimentary rocks?
They are all linked because you have to go through a cycle to get each one. Each one comes from the other.
When sea animals die they fell to the sea bed and buried what did they turn into?
Do You Know The Sedimentary Rocks?They are formed into sediment on the sea floorsediment is sand
What is sedimentry?
Well, sedimentary 'rocks' are made when small parts of eroded rocks are carried by rivers and deposited to the bottom of a river/sea bed. Over time, the pressure of the sea pushes the rocks deeper down, forming a layer of 'Sedimentary' rocks. Miners collect this rock to make other types of rock materials like limestone and sandstone.
