What type of rock have flat layers?
Sedimentary rocks have flat layers.
What is it called when water shapes the rocks flat?
Erosion.
As explained by the principle of original horizontality sedimentary rocks form in?
Flat layers that may become tilted over time
What type of rock breaks into flat pieces?
Sedimentary rocks, such as shale or sandstone, often break into flat pieces because they are made up of layers of deposited materials that can easily separate along planes of weakness.
What is the horizontally level called?
Flat
What type of rock have flat layers?
Sedimentary rocks have flat layers.
What is the clouds that form in flat layers called?
Clouds in flat layers are called stratus.
What are rocks that have grains that lie in a pattern of flat layers or form swirls?
banded rocks
Rocks that are non banded have grains that lie in a pattern of flat layers or form swirls?
The Answer is NO or FALSE
What name is given to layers of tilted rocks that are overlain by younger more flat- lying rock layers?
angular unconformity is the answer because it is tilted
What condition produces the distinct layers of flat and elongated minerals in the foliated metamorphic rocks?
High Pressure.
What are flat deposits of rocks called?
moraines
What are folded rocks?
When sedimentary rocks are first laid down their layers (bedding) are tangential to the earths surface (essentially they look flat). They remain like this unless two of the earths continental plates on which the flat bedded rocks are deposited crash together. When they crash together, the layers are squashed horizontally and become deformed as a result. Frequently this deformation causes the layers to fold (like scrunching paper) to accommodate and the result is folded rocks.
How do flat rocks form?
Mos flat rocks are sedimentary, with shale being a prime example. Shale forms from fine sediment being laid down in layers and then later hardened into rock, with the layers preserved. Slate is a metamorphic rock derived from shale that still preserves the layering.
What is a Flat deposits that cover large area?
they are called layers
What is it called when water shapes the rocks flat?
Erosion.
What is even or flat called?
it is called level
