Are sills and dikes an example of intrusive igneous activity?
Yes they are. Dikes are tabular discordant bodies that are produced when magma is injected into fractures and Sills are tabular plutons formed when magma is injected along sedimentary bedding surfaces.
The polished surfaces of rock which are a rasult of rock moving against rock along a fault are know as?
slickensides are polished surfaces of rock which are a rasult of rock moving against rock along a fault
What is a rupture of geological fault?
Faulting is when rocks deform in a brittle fashion and break, and then movement occurs along these fractures.
What boundary is the cause of hot springs and fracture zones?
Hot springs and fractures are also common along divergent boundaries.
Which line of latitude that divided North and South Korea?
The 38th parallel.
Does friction act perpendicular or parallel to the surfaces in contact?
Parallel, surfaces are never perfect, and the peaks and valleys along these surfaces are the objects that interact to create resistance to movement parallel to the surfaces.
What are the cracks along flat rocks surfaces called?
Large cracks in rocks are called, fracture or fissure.
What is the physical property denoting a minerals tendency to crack along parallel planar surfaces?
cleavage. cleavage.
Are sills and dikes an example of intrusive igneous activity?
Yes they are. Dikes are tabular discordant bodies that are produced when magma is injected into fractures and Sills are tabular plutons formed when magma is injected along sedimentary bedding surfaces.
What is the tendency of a mineral to break along planes of weakness producing smooth parallel breaks known as?
Cleavage is the tendency of a minerals to break along flat surfaces. It means that the make up of the mineral is uneven, dense on one side and not dense in the other, causing the mineral to break along flat surfaces. The tendency of a mineral to break irregurlary is fracture.
Breaking of a mineral along irregular surfaces called?
The breaking of a mineral along irregular surfaces is called a fracture. The splitting of a mineral along smooth, flat surfaces is called cleavage.
Could out put sensor cause transmission to go in to a neutral state?
Yes, along with numerous others.Yes, along with numerous others.
What is the manner in which a mineral breaks along curved or irregular surfaces?
the manner in which a mineral breaks along either curved or irregular surfaces is called a FRACTURE.
What is a manner in which a mineral breaks along curved or irregular surfaces?
the manner in which a mineral breaks along either curved or irregular surfaces is called a FRACTURE.
Why must electric field line be perpendicular to equipotential surfaces?
If the field lines were not perpendicular to the surface, then they could be decomposed into components perpendicular and parallel to the surface. But if there is an E-field along the surface, the surface is no longer an equipotential.
What is a manner in which a mineral breaks along either curved or irregular surfaces?
the manner in which a mineral breaks along either curved or irregular surfaces is called a FRACTURE.
Is cleavage splitting of rocks in definite surfaces?
Cleavage is the splitting of rocks or minerals along defined surfaces.
