What are two best environments to look for fossils?
areas along hillsides.. & ..layers of sedimentary rock ..
What are the 2 ways igneous rock are is formed?
the 2 ways are intrusive rock and extrusive rock
What kind of rocks are formed when molten rock cools?
There are three main kinds of rocks that are named after the different ways that they form. The kind of rock that forms when molten rock cools is called igneous rock. Basalt and obsidian are some types of igneous rock. The other two kinds of rocks are called metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic rock forms beneath the earth's surface as a result of intense heat and pressure changes. Sedimentary rock forms from particles of material, literally called sediment, consisting of pebbles, shells, sand, and other fragments. The sediment hardens into rock over a period of time as the layers accumulate.
Where do the materials for volcanoes the erupt both ways come from?
it is alternating layers of pyroclstic materials
Why do minerals change composition as they undergo metamorphism?
The minerals in the rock have been realigned into parallel bands in response to pressures exerted on the rock from a particular direction. The banding forms perpendicularly to the direction of the force.
What are the four ways rock layers can become disturbed?
4 ways are folding, tilting, intrusions, and faults. Hope this helped :)
What are five ways that order of rock layers can be disturbed?

What are four ways that rocks layers can become disturbed?
2 of them are folding and tilting but i dont know the rest
How does the order of rock layers get disturbed?
Quite a few things can disturb rock layers. Among them are:1. Plate tectonics. As the plates pull apart or come together, rocks are pulled, pushed, pressed, raised, lowered, and basically jumbled around. There are places where the squishing has been so severe that entire layers have been turned over, so that the oldest are now on top.2. Earthquakes. Earthquakes can break up and shift layers of rock.3. Meteorites. Great big space rocks falling to earth do awful (and interesting!) things to nice, orderly rock layers. Barringer Meteor Crater in Arizona is a fine example: not only is there an enormous hole, but the rock layers around the rim of the crater have been completely overturned in places.Those are a few of the common natural ways the order of rock layers can get disturbed.
What are ways rock layers can be dated?
you put the dick in the vag
What are two ways that a rock layer can cause a gap in geologic record?
When rock layers are eroded or when a sediment is not deposited for a long period of time.
What are two best environments to look for fossils?
areas along hillsides.. & ..layers of sedimentary rock ..
What are the two main ways that minerals are put together in rock?
The two main ways minerals are put together in rock are crystalline and clastic. The crystalline process gives rocks the characteristic and structure of crystals. Clastic rocks are composed of fragments, or clasts, of pre-existing minerals and rock.
What are ways sedimentary rock forms?
Three main ways and are classified accordingly. Igneous rocks form from molten material called magma.
What two ways geologists use the geologic column?
1.Geologists use the geologic column to help them interperet rocks sequences. 2.they use to help them identify rock layers in complicated rock sequence.
