What else can I help you with?
Which choice refer to the science of the earth?
Geology
What is the rank of the rock?
The term "rank of the rock" could refer to various contexts, such as geology, music, or sports. In geology, it might pertain to the classification of rock types based on their formation processes. If you meant something else, please provide more context for a more accurate answer.
What are rocks called that have been made by heat and compaction?
Metamorphic rocks. However care should be taken when using the work compaction, as clastic sedimentary rocks undergo compaction during their formation and are not considered metamorphic. A better word than compaction in this context would be pressure or stress.
How long is an age?
An age is a long period of time that can vary depending on context. In archaeology and geology, an age can refer to a specific time interval of thousands to millions of years. In everyday language, an age can refer to a more general, indeterminate period of time.
Do you capitalize geology?
Geology should be capitalized when referring to the scientific study of the Earth's structure, history, and processes. It is a proper noun when used in this context.
What are Plain Mountains?
"Plain mountains" is not a commonly used term in geography or geology. It could potentially refer to mountains that have relatively flat or level surfaces on top, but without more context it is unclear what specifically is being referred to.
What is compaction in geology?
Compaction is one process leading to the formation of sedimentary rock by the pressing weight of overlying layers of sediment. Compaction leads to the formation of sedimentary rock by squeezing out air and fluids that exist between sediment particles. As the particles become closer and closer together and the fluids are removed, the particles can become cemented together by minerals that were in the fluids.
What is science that deals with features of earth's surface?
Geology is the science that deals with the Earth's surface and it's features. Geology can actually refer to the study of any celestial body for that matter.
What do the terms interlocking and non-interlocking refer to in geology?
These terms refer to the crystalline structure of the minerals that are present in a body of rock. Rocks with an interlocking mineral structure have formed from melt or from recrystallization and therefore are igneous or metamorphic. Their crystals have formed in a set order of crystallization, filling the spaces fully between them. Examples are granite, basalt, schist, and phyllite. Non-interlocking rock structures are usually clastic sedimentary rocks, which are formed from the compaction and cementation of rock particles of various types. Compaction and cementation will leave air and fluid spaces between rock particles which, although cemented together, are not interlocking. Examples are sandstone, limestone, and shale.
What does saltation in science?
Saltation in science refers to a process of rapid change or movement, often used in the context of geology and ecology. In geology, it describes the transportation of sediment by wind or water in a series of short, intermittent leaps rather than a continuous flow. In ecology, it can refer to sudden transitions in ecosystems or species populations. Overall, saltation emphasizes abrupt shifts or movements within a system.
