What else can I help you with?
A form of volcanism that allows magma to seep into the crustal layers and harden is called?
It is called a magmatic intrusion.
What happens when rock layers rise?
harden?
Magma that forces across rock layers harden into?
its acutally a dike trust me
Which observation provides the most direct evidence that crustal plate collision has occurred near this region?
The presence of folded and faulted rock layers, with layers appearing deformed and displaced, provides direct evidence of crustal plate collision in a region. These structures are typical results of the immense forces generated during plate collision, causing the Earth's crust to deform and buckle.
WHAT KIND OF ROCK FORMS WHEN LAYERS OF PARTICLES SETTLE ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER AND HARDEN?
The rock that forms when layer of particles settle on top of each other and harden is a sedimentary rock.
What is a wide gently sloping mountain made of harden layers of low silica lava?
Shield volcano
What is a bend in a crustal rock?
A bend in a crustal rock is a deformation where the rock has been subjected to stress, causing it to bend without breaking. This bending can occur due to tectonic forces such as compression or extension, resulting in curved layers or shapes in the rock. Bends in crustal rocks are commonly seen in mountain ranges where tectonic forces have been active.
What is crustal Compression?
Crustal compression is the process where tectonic forces squeeze rock layers in the Earth's crust, causing them to deform and fold. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges or fault lines as the rocks are pushed together and uplifted. Compression can occur at convergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates collide.
What is the best evidence of crustal uplift?
The best evidence of crustal uplift is the presence of elevated landforms such as mountains or plateaus. This uplift can result from tectonic forces or isostatic rebound following the melting of ice sheets. Geological features like tilted sedimentary layers or uplifted coastlines also indicate crustal uplift.
Folded sedimentary rock layers are usually caused by?
the process of lithification, where layers of sediment are compressed and cemented together over time. This can result in the formation of sedimentary rock layers that are folded due to tectonic forces acting on the Earth's crust.
Layers of thin runny lava that flows over a wide area before they cool and harden can build up a?
Pahoehoe and aa
Are the layers of earth farthest from the crust the newest and youngest layers?
No, the layers of Earth farthest from the crust are the oldest layers. The Earth's mantle and core are believed to have formed early in the planet's history, while the crust is continually being recycled through processes like subduction and volcanism.
