Which type of fault occurs when rocks are pushed together as they meet?
These will form reverse or thrust faults.
What type of rock always forms directly from another rock?
Metamorphic. By contrast, igneous rocks form from lava or magma, and sedimentary rock form from sediment. Those things are formed from previous rocks, but constitute intermediate stages: igneous and sedimentary rocks are formed indirectly from previous rocks.
What rocks originate from the surface of the earth?
Sedimentary rocks form on the Earth's crust, and can form metamorphic rocks when buried. Igneous rocks form under the surface, or when liquid magma reaches the surface as lava.
What rock Can only form underground?
What type of rock is formed from magma that hardens underground?
Why are large amounts of peat needed to form small amounts of anthracite?
The peat has to be compressed.
When rocks are compressed a fault may form?
A reverse fault, my friend.
What type of fault may form when rocks are pulled apart?
A normal fault.
What is a type of fault that may form when rocks are pulled apart?
a divergent boundry
Sedimentary rocks form when layers of small particles are compressed?
The small particles are compressed under water to then form sedimentary rocks

Can rocks change from any other type of rock?
Yes, rocks can change from any type.Igneous rocks can be compressed and change into a Metamorphic.Sedimentary and Metamorphic can be heated and compressed together to form any kind of Metamorphic.Sedimentary rocks can be formed from chips of an Igneous rock.And so forth. . .
Which type of fault occurs when rocks are pushed together as they meet?
These will form reverse or thrust faults.
Type of fault that may form when rocks are pulled apart due to tension?
Rocks being pulled apart are under tension. This is found at divergent plate boundaries. It is a tension fault.

What are rocks formed from?
