What clues tell geologists about a fault?
ummm....?
Why are index useful to geologists?
they tell the absoute age of rcoks which they occur
What clues does extrusion tell geologists?
Geologists study where intrusion and extrusion formed in relation to other rock layers. This helps geologists understand the relative ages of the different types of rock! Hope it helps;)😊
What is schistosity in rock?
Schistosity refers to a particular rock texture found in certain metamorphic rocks, that is a reaction to increases in directionally applied stress and temperature. Schistosity is present where the texture of the rock exhibits a platy, layered appearance, with visible crystals of micas and other minerals, oriented in the same direction. The mineral crystals have become aligned perpendicularly to the direction of the applied stress.
What clues tell geologists?
Give relative ages of rocks. This is not the only clue to this question

What is surface of a break in a section of rocks?
This could be a beading plane, a plane of cleavage or schistosity, or a fault plane.
How can geologists tell about plants and animals that lived on earth a long time ago?
Well, most of the time geologists find fossils of plants and animals, and then study them to find out how long ago the plant(or animal) lived.
What do faults tell geologists about the relative ages of rock?
A fault must be younger than the rock it cuts through.
What the nouns in the sentence a geologists can use the scratches to tell the direction of movement?
The nouns in the sentence are geologist, scratches, direction, and movement.
What is schistosity and how does it differ from slaty cleavage?
Schistosity refers to the parallel arrangement of mineral grains in a metamorphic rock, creating a visible foliation. Slaty cleavage, on the other hand, describes the highly defined parallel alignment of fine-grained minerals in a rock, resulting in a distinct splitting property. While both features involve foliation, schistosity typically exhibits coarser grains and is associated with higher grade metamorphic rocks, while slaty cleavage is characterized by its very fine-grained nature and is commonly found in lower grade metamorphic rocks like slate.
