How are earth layers formed?
sedimenatary rock create layers in the surface of the earth and eruptions from volcanoes also make layers of the earth.
What are facts on how the layers of the earth was formed?
No one knows for sure about how the layers formed. Scientists are trying to find out how. SORRY : (
What are the types of mountains?
There are three main types of mountains. block mountains formed by sections of the earth's crust that have been tilted or lifted up by the movement of two close fault lines, large cracks in the earth's surface. These are usually smaller than other types of mountains and are often separated by valleys. Volcanic mountains are formed by magma that is pushed out of the earth through a crack or weak place in the earth's crust. Fold mountains are formed when rock is "squeezed" together. When plates collide, the rock along the edges crumples, creating a huge zig-zag pattern in layers of the earth's crust. Upwarped mountains are formed when magma pushes up the earth's crust without breaking the surface. This creates a rounded mountain that gently slopes toward the surrounding land.
When forces inside earth push up the crust what mountains are formed?
Upwarped mountains are formed when this feat occurs. :)
How are uplifted mountains formed?
A upwarped mountain is a mountain consisting of a broad area of the Earth's crust that has moved gently upward without much apparent deformation, and usually containing sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks
What are the names of different types of mountains?
Some types of mountains include: Fold mountains, formed by the folding of layers of rock due to tectonic forces. Volcanic mountains, created by volcanic activity and lava flows. Block mountains, formed when large blocks of the Earth's crust are uplifted. Dome mountains, which are rounded mountains formed by the uplifting of rock layers. Plateau mountains, which are large flat-topped mountains formed by erosion.
What are types of fold mountains?
The Jura Mountains and the Zagros Mountains are examples of the fold mountains. The fold mountain is formed as a result of the effects if the folding on layers within the upper part of the crust of the earth.
What are types of foldings?
The Jura Mountains and the Zagros Mountains are examples of the fold mountains. The fold mountain is formed as a result of the effects if the folding on layers within the upper part of the crust of the earth.
How are earth layers formed?
sedimenatary rock create layers in the surface of the earth and eruptions from volcanoes also make layers of the earth.
How sedimentary rocks form?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when eroded earth builds up
How is a folding mountain formed?
When two plates in the Earth converge, over time, folded mountains will be formed. I mean, I AM IN FIFTH GRADE give me a break
What are mountains formed by magma that reach the Earth's surface?
Mountains formed by magma that reach the Earth's surface are called volcanic mountains or ridges.
What causes volcanics mountains to form?
Volcanic mountains are formed when lava reaches the Earth's surface. The lava becomes viscous and cannot flow away readily. This then accumulates around the vent and as different layers pile up, a volcanic mountain is formed.
In which of the earth's layers are diamond formed?
Diamonds are usually formed in the mantle.

Why do scientists believe that the earth developed in a series of layers?
because the earth as it builds up over time new layers formed from the techtonic plates each layer probobly has their own plates but not discovered yet and when convergent bounderies made mountains and more land, the earth made new layers that were capable of living on
