What do you know about a rock layer found on a mountain if you find a seashell fossil?
If you find a seashell fossil in a rock layer on a mountain, than you know that the rock layer was formed at a time when that area was submerged under water. This is because the seashell lived and died underwater, so it would have been fossilized there as the rock layer formed. Millions of years later, the water drained away, and forces within the Earth's crust pushed the rock layer and the layers above it upward, forming mountains. Of course, the rock layer would have been buried deep within the Earth by that point, but as the mountains formed, weathering and erosion would have worn away the newer layers, exposing the ancient rock layer with the seashell.
What layer of the atmosphere would a tornado occur in?
A tornado would occur in the troposphere, the layer closest to the Earth.
Was long island formed by glaciers?
weathering and erosion the glacier used abrasion and then all of the rocks would be taken away by erosion
Are waves a major force of erosion along coasts?
Yes waves are a major force of erosion along coasts your answer would be true :)
What would the government do to get rid of river erosion?
they can make the wall.
Would a volcanic deposit of the youngest layer be on top or bottom?
Unless transposed by deformation, the youngest layer is always on top
Which layer of the soil profile would be affected the most by weathering and erosion?
Topsoil
How would you know which is the oldest layer in a rock?
You would know because the youngest rock layer is always on the top, and the oldest is always at the bottom of the canyon.
How would you know which rock layer in a canyon is the oldest?
You would know because the youngest rock layer is always on the top, and the oldest is always at the bottom of the canyon.
What feature may form by erosion on a river where a layer of soft rock lies beneath a layer of hard rock?
This would be the classic recipe for a waterfall.
What would the earth's landforms look like if they were completely eroded?
erosion results in a flattening of land form.
What layer of rock would you most likely find a fossil?
Is at the bottom of course! Since sedimentary rock is formed when layers build up and then harden. So the younger would be at the top.!
Why a layer of rich humus may not cover some areas of the rain forest?
The obvious , rain and erosion would cover or wash-out animal wastes.
Who is the youngest person?
The youngest person would constantly be changing as it would be the newest born person.
Which layer of the earth spins giving us a magnetic field?
The entire Earth spins. No layer has a rotation rate the differs significantly from the rest of the planet. If any layer did the results would be catastrophic. The magnetic field is the result of convection currents in the outer core.
How does erosion increase?
Erosion increases when there is a flood and when land is plowed and there is no cover crop that would prevent wind erosion.
Would you rather be the youngest or oldest in your family?
I rather be youngest because both parents love the youngest than the oldest.
