What type of rock forms when molten rock cools?
Rock that forms from molten rock that cools and solidifies is called igneous rock.
Is a mushroom rock a sedimentary rock?
a mushroom rock is not a sedimentary rock.
Why is earth a rock?
Earth is not a rock, it is a planet. If anything rock is earth but earth is not rock.
Is a igneous rock a mineral or rock?
You say it as ' Igneous ROCK ' and ask whether it is a rock..
Is phosphate rock an igneous rock?
no, it is actually a chemical!answ2. Phosphate rock is a sedimentary rock.
What kind of metamorphic rock is formed where rocks have been heated but not deformed?
a rock with metamorphic minerals but no foliation or lineation
What is metamorphic rock in which mineral crystals are arranged in parallel layers or band?
They are called foliated metamorphic rocks.
What has the author Dennis Howson Waddington written?
Dennis Howson Waddington has written: 'Foliation and mineral lineation in the Moon River synform, Grenville structural province, Ontario'
What is the difference between foliation and lineation?
Both foliation and lineations features of deformation in rocks. Lineations however are indicatives of the presence of foliation but lineation is a planar stucture measured in therms of dip and strike, meanwhile lieations are measured in terms of plunge and direction. The dip is the angle a foliation makes with the horizontal, it is a measure of the inclination of the foliation. Strike however measured right angled to the dip, it is a measure of the general trend of the surface fo the foliation (season why leation cannot be measured in terms of strike, because it is simply a lineation and thus has no surface trend). The plunge also is the angle a lineation makes with the horizontal. It is similar to dip in that it also a measure of inclination but different but unlike dip it tells us nothing about the direction of the lineation. This is why direction comes as a supplementary measure of lineation. vjacq@yahoo.com I think there is some stuff mixed up in the above answer. Foliations are planes, Lineations are lines. Foliations have Strike and Dip Lineations have Trend and Plunge Foliations form as a result of compression or shearing and form perpendicular to resulting compression (planes will be closer to the direction of extension - imagine squeezing a ball of soft material and see which way it stretches). Some of the most common foliations are in folds, at the axial hinge of a fold, the foliation tends to be the same as the axial plane, but moving away from the centre of the fold the foliations tend to lay away from the plane - this depends on competency of rock holding the folds. In the field it can be easy to confuse bedding planes with foliations - you may have to question what it is that distinguishes the layers to decide if it's a bed or foliation. Often a foliation plane has no distinguishing features between layers (until it starts developing schistosity and banding) There are many types of lineations: Striations, stretching lineations, intersection linetions. In the field they are a line on a rock, not a plane. Stretching lineations (usually what you are looking for) are basically the result of a crystal (or set of crystals) being stretched in a ductile environment (so basically you've got a blob of material that's been stretched out) Intersection Lineations: The line that is produced where bedding planes (sedimentary material) intersect with foliation planes. At the axial hinge of fold the foliations and beds are usually perpendicular (90 degrees) to each other. Striations: Usually a brittle feature, is basically scratch marks of one rock moving on another, can be formed by glaciers or sometimes in faults. Displays a sense of movement.
Are the specials a 2-tone ska band?
No they're a rock band. They sound like this ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK!
What cause valley to form?
A fold or lineation in the land may be a perfectly natural part of a primal landscape. In this, a valley may be formed by rainfall and a resulting stream, and this will gradually erode the landscape. In regions with a porous structure, (limestone country for example), the rainfall may just soak directly into the ground, without forming a stream.
