The movement within the Earth that causes buried rock to be exposed at the Earth's surface is called uplift. It refers to the vertical elevation of the Earth's surface.

What is the process that brings fossil to the surface?

when a fossil is exposed at the earths surface, that means that weathering and erosions has exposed it or the movement of plate tectonics moved the earth and then the fossil is exposed that way.


Buried rock is exposed at earths surface by the combination of which two processes?

The combination of weathering and erosion exposes buried rock at the Earth's surface. Weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces away, eventually revealing the rock at the surface.

How is an earhquake started?

An earthquake is started when two plates (which lie under the Earths surface) rub together this creates movement which then sometimes pulls/pushes at the earths surface and creates giant cracks in the earths surface... and that is how an earthquake is started.

Why might a laccolith be detected at earths surface before being exposed by erosion?

A laccolith may be detected at Earth's surface before being exposed by erosion because it causes uplift in the overlying rocks, creating a dome-like structure. This uplift can be visible through topographic mapping or geophysical surveys before the laccolith is fully exposed by erosion processes. Additionally, the resistant nature of the igneous rock forming the laccolith may also prevent erosion, keeping it buried beneath the surface for an extended period.
