Where is nickel in the rock cycle?
Nickel is a metallic element. It is not found as a pure metal on the Earth's surface. There is however a vast quantity of metallic Nickel present in the Earth's core, it sank to the core along with all the metallic Iron on Earth and much of Earth's heavy elements as part of the 'Iron Cascade' (see related "planetary differentiation" link below) when the whole planet was molten.The Nickel found as ores in surface rocks today was delivered to the earth by meteorite impacts after the Earth's surface had solidified. All the heavy elements found in surface rocks were delivered in this late, secondary veneer of planetary accretion.
How many impact craters and basins have been found it on earth?
Earth Impact Database, a website concerned with over 170 scientifically-confirmed impact craters on Earth.
Why have scientists found few impact craters on Earth?
Because there are few erosion processes on the Moon to erase the craters. The Earth has had many more impacts, but those in the ocean were covered up and those on land were eroded away.
Are craters big on the planet Mercury?
Large multi-ringed impact basins, with diameters of hundreds of kilometers or more, are to be found on Mercury.
Is petroleum formed in shallow ocean basins?
No, petroleum is found in the Earth.
This is rarely found on earth because earths surface is constantly changing?
Meteorite craters.
Where are craters are found?
By name, Craters of Diamonds State Park is located in USA, in Arkansas. All diamonds are exploded to the earth's surface from volcanic pipes, which when mined turn into craters. You can see these craters in Africa, Canada, Russia, Brazil, India and Australia.

Which landforms are found on earth NOT on the moon?
i have the same homework as you, but all i know is its not mountains (which is 'a') and its not impact craters (which is 'b')
Large craters found on earth support the hypothesis that impact events have caused?
mass extinctions of animals and plants
Why are craters found on planets expect Earth?
There are craters on Earth. Meteor Crater, Arizona is one example, but there are lots of others as well. On Earth, wind and rain and the activities of plants and animals cause erosion, so the craters fade over time. Also, the atmosphere does slow down or vaporize many meteors, so there aren't as many strikes in the first place.
Where Is sedimentary rock found?
basins
What unique features are found on Earth's moon?
The most recent unique feature found on the moon was methane rich pockets of ice formed in the deep craters on the moon
