What else can I help you with?
What happens When rock layers are folded?
When rock layers are folded, a geological fold happens. These folds form under various conditions such as stress, hydrostatic pressure, pore pressure, and temperature gradient.
What happens to the sedimentary rock layers that first formed over the ancient rock?
they are pushed down
What happens if the pores within the rock layers are connected?
Then fluid can travel through the rock, and the rock is said to be "permeable".
What happens when a shear force acts on rock layers?
It breaks apart
What happens to rock layers along a fault?
Along a fault, rock layers can become displaced, offset, or tilted. This is due to the movement of the Earth's crust along the fault line, resulting in different rock layers being shifted relative to each other.
When rock layers break and resulting surface they break and slide on?
faults occur when this happens
Occurs when rock layers bend due to stress in the Earth's crust?
I found that folding happens
The surface feature that is produced when horizontal layers of sedimentary rock rise without being folded is a?
fault-block mountain.
Are Aquifers rock layers?
Aquifers are permeable layers of rock that have non permeable layers of rock under them so water remains in the permeable layers
Compare the rock layers in an artesian formation with those in an ordinary aquifer?
In an artesian formation, the rock layers are inclined or tilted, creating a confined aquifer with pressure that can cause water to rise naturally to the surface. In an ordinary aquifer, the rock layers are typically horizontal, allowing water to flow more freely without the same pressure dynamics as in artesian formations.
What happens to rock when the layers get pushed down and are exposed to high pressure and heat?
They melt. Coal turns to diamond.
What happens when magma flows in a horizontal direction along rock layers?
The magma forms sills and magma chambers.
