when uplifted rocks reach the Earth's Surface, weathering, erosion, and deposition begin
When uplifted rocks reach the earth's blank weathering erosion and deposition begin?
when uplifted rocks reach the Earth's Surface, weathering, erosion, and deposition begin
What happens when tectonic forces uplift?
Structural highs (e.g. mountains) are created by uplift. The uplifted rocks are commonly heavily folded and faulted as a result of uplift.
What happens to the rocks in the Earth when they reach 200km?
it shall melt
What type of mountains are generally made up of undeformed rocks?
uplifted mountains
What occurs when sedimentary rocks are deposited on top of uplifted and eroded metamorphic or igneous rocks?
An uncomformity will occur in the rock record.
Can metamorphic rocks be part of an isolated system?
No. They will either be subducted into the mantle or uplifted and/or exposed to erosion.
How does mesa form?
Mesas are formed by weathering and erosion of horizontally layered rocks that have been uplifted by tectonic activity.
What happens to rock along converging boundaries?
It is folded and uplifted, or subducted into the mantle, depending on the type of convergent boundary.
What happens to a rock when they are uplifted to the surface of the earth?
Pressure on them is released, which can cause pressure-release mechanical weathering. Exposure of an uplifted rock to the surface will fully expose the rock to the effects of mechanical and chemical weathering--basically a rock rot.
What are some similarities between volcanic and uplifted mountains?
a volcanic mountain is a cone shaped mountain formed when molten rocks erupts from a hole in the earths crust.
When a large flat land is uplifted a what is formed?
