What else can I help you with?
What can directly lead to unconformity on an exposed rock?
Uneven rock layers.
What rock is an old rock that has been exposed to heat and pressure and has no visible layers?
sedimentary rock
Does plate shifting cause previously unseen rock layers to be exposed?
Yes, plate shifting can cause previously hidden rock layers to be exposed through processes such as uplift, folding, faulting, or erosion. This can reveal older rock layers that were buried beneath the Earth's surface.
What is the formation?
it is a sloping layer of permeable rock sandwiched between two layers of impermeable rock and exposed at the surface.
Which The simplest way to correlate exposed rock layers in the same general vicinity when they contain no fossil is by?
Correlating exposed rock layers without fossils can be done by comparing rock type, color, texture, and layering patterns. By identifying unique features or events like faults or igneous intrusions within the rock layers, you can establish correlations based on these characteristics. Additionally, looking at the relative position and orientation of the rock layers can provide clues for correlation.
What can biologists learn from the different layers of rock in the Earth?
cool
What exposed all the rock layers in The Grand Canyon?
Erosion, caused by wind and water.

What do an intrusion and an extrusion tell us about the rock layers?
(Intrusion) You can learn how old the rock layers are around it. the rock layers around under and all around the intrusion are always older than the intrusion itself. (EXTRUSION) the layers of rock bellow the extrusion is older than the extrusion.
Slabs of rock separating like layers of an onion?
The slabs of rock are likely experiencing exfoliation due to weathering processes like expansion and contraction of the rock layers. As the outer layers of the rock are exposed to temperature changes, they expand and contract at different rates, causing the rock to separate into layers like an onion. This process is a type of mechanical weathering that occurs over time.
What happens to rock when the layers get pushed down and are exposed to high pressure and heat?
They melt. Coal turns to diamond.
