What is the difference between pore pressure and formation pressure?
Pore pressure refers to the pressure exerted by fluids within the pore spaces of a rock formation, while formation pressure refers to the total pressure within a formation, including both the weight of the overlying rock and the pressure of any fluids present. Pore pressure is a subset of formation pressure and represents the pressure contributed solely by the fluids in the rock pores.
What forces do you find in the present of the formation of metamorphic rock?
temperature, pressure or added fluids
What is a rock's composition?
Rocks vary in composition depending on the availability and type present during the formation
What is the formation?
it is a sloping layer of permeable rock sandwiched between two layers of impermeable rock and exposed at the surface.
What is the difference between a rock and a rock formation?
A rock is just a piece of a larger formation of rock; the formation exhibits characteristics of origin or composition that set it apart from other formations. A rock is the product of the rock formation process, just as a cake is the result of the process of cake making (combining ingredients, mixing and baking the cake).
What happened to the famous rock formation in New Hampshire in 2003?
The Old Man of the Mountain broke apart as the result of erosion.
When hot fluids migrate into and out of a rock during metamorphism what will change?
During metamorphism, the minerals present in the rock can recrystallize, change in size, or reorganize their structure due to the influence of the hot fluids. The chemical composition of the rock may also change as elements are exchanged between the rock and the fluids. Overall, these processes can lead to the formation of new minerals and textures in the rock.
What are formations that are sandwiched between layers of existing rock formations?
The formations that are sandwiched between layers of existing rock formations called sills. Another formation between layers is called laccoliths.
What is an igneous intrusion between two sedimentary rock layers?
A laccolith is an igneous formation between two sedimentary layers
What is lithification most closely related to?
sedimentary rock formation
What is the chemical equation for carbonate rock formation?
The chemical equation for carbonate rock formation involves the precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) from dissolved bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) in water. This process typically occurs in oceans or lakes where calcium ions (Ca2+) and bicarbonate ions are present, leading to the formation of carbonate rocks like limestone or dolomite.
