Intrabasinal sedimentary rocks and extrabasinal sedimentary rocks?
Intrabasinal rocks are deposited in the same basin as the source rock they are weathered from. Extrabasinal rocks are deposited outside the basin of their original source rock. Both are sedimentary rocks.
What is the funnel shaped basin that collects urine from the collecting ducts called?
renal pelvis
How can subsidence lead to the formation of sedimentary rocks?
When the ground subsides it can become lower than the surrounding terrain, forming a basin. Since water, which carries sediment, flows downhill, sediment will collects in these basins. If enough sediment collects, compaction and cementation will turn it into sedimentary rock.
What is an erosional-depositional system?
It is where elevated material is transported to lower areas by wind, ice, water, and gravity, and deposited in a still environment, like a basin, lake, or ocean.
How do sediments on the ocean floor vary in relation to an ocean ridge?
The transport of sediment depends on its grain size and the original location where it was produced. Terrigenous sediment can be transported to the deep sea via rivers or by wind. Material transported by rivers most commonly ends up deposited on thecontinental margin, the shallow portions of the ocean that are within several hundred kilometers of land. When continental margin deposits accumulate fast and get overly steep, or when an earthquake or storm causes the sediment to be resuspended, turbidity currents provide additional transport out to the deep sea. The resuspension of the sediment into the bottom water causes it to be more dense than the overlying water, and thus these turbidity currents flow downslope to the more distant ocean basin -humberto <3
How does a igneous rock become a sedimentary rock?
The igneous rock gets weathered into sediment by wind, water, and ices. The sediment is deposited in a basin and buried. The pressure of burial and the heat inside Earth turns that sediment into stone.
Intrabasinal sedimentary rocks and extrabasinal sedimentary rocks?
Intrabasinal rocks are deposited in the same basin as the source rock they are weathered from. Extrabasinal rocks are deposited outside the basin of their original source rock. Both are sedimentary rocks.
