Younger layers of undisturbed sedimentary rock are above older layers according to?
the principal of sedimentarianism
Where are fossil fuels located in australia?
A geologist is studying layers of rock. He finds a fossil with an imprint of a shelled animal. According to the law of faunal and floral succession, what kind of fossil would he most likely find next, in the layer of rock above it? Look back to the Fossil Succession Chart for help.
Does lava form under ground or above ground?
under ground
Name the four layers of a rainforest describe each layer?
The rain forest has 4 layers. They are the forest floor, the under story, the canopy and last there is the emergent layer.First is the forest floor which is on the bottom. The forest floor is 0 feet above the ground.Next there is the understory. The understory is 0 feet to 60 feet above the ground.Then there is the canopy. The canopy is 60 feet to 130 feet and last but not least the emergent layer is 130 to 160 feet above the ground.
How do scientists infer that some mountains were once underwater?
By looking at the different layers of material that make up a mountain you can determine if a mountain was once under the sea. There are fossil layers within the layers of rock and soil that make up the mountain. If there are layers containing fossils consistent with sea life a scientist could infer that that mountain was once under the sea. This could be the result of higher sea levels in the past or it could be the result of tectonic processes that have formed the mountains by pushing the land high above sea level.
How egneous rocks are formed?
Igneous rocks are types of rocks that are formed by fire. They can be formed in the ground from magma that gets trapped in air pockets. Above ground they can form when lava cools along the ground.
How is ignius rock formed?
it is formed either underground or above ground. it is formed underground when hot magma is trapped and cools slowly, when it has cooled down it has then become igneous rock but on top of the ground the lava cools much quicker then what it does below the ground
Which layer of the atmosphere has the less amount of ultra rays from the sun?
The one that is right above the ground - since there, the UV rays are filtered by the higher layers.
What are the five layers of the rain forest with picture?
The rainforest is divided into five layers: the emergents/overstory, the canopy, the understory, the shrub layer and the forest floor. The emergents, as I learned to call them, or the overstory is the very highest part of the rainforest. It reaches about 150ft or 45m above the ground. They are tall trees which stick out of the top of the rainforest. The canopy is where most of the trees are. It is 100-125ft or 30-37.5m above the ground. It is a thick, dense mass of trees. The understory is simply slightly smaller or younger trees then the canopy which reach between about 50-75ft or 15-22.5m above the ground. The shrub layer is the small trees and bushes near the ground, about 25ft or 7m above the ground. This is where many bugs and spiders live. And finally, the forest floor. See the link below for a diagram and more information about the rainforest and the rainforest layers. It has however missed out the shrub layer.
Can you get a dome fossil above ground in Pokemon diamond?
I'm not to sure, but it is quite easy to find below ground. Just keep on digging, or migrate a Kabuto from Leaf Green, Fire Red, Sapphire, Ruby or Emerald.
What principle is a geologist applying when deciding that a fossil in a mud layer is older than a fossil in a sandstone layer above it?
Which principle is a geologist applying when deciding that a fossil in a mud layer is older than a fossil in a sandstone layer above it.
Aquifers are rock layers that are what?
Aquifer are underground areas of saturated permeable rock or sediments above layers of impermeable rock that have the ability to hold/retain ground water, preventing it from percolation and infiltration, thereby serving as a form of natural water storage .
Do black panthers live above ground or below ground?
They live above ground.
Does cabbage grow above ground or under ground?
Cabbages grow above ground
When was Above Ground created?
Above Ground was created in 1983.
Why does water flow naturally from an artesian well?
In some ground formations there is an impermeable layer which holds the water beneath it under pressure. In such a case where a well penetrates the impermeable layer, the water rises through the upper layers of the ground and even above ground-surface level
How do Scientists tell how old fossil is?
Stratigraphy is the common method for dating fossils. The fossil will be younger than layers below it, and older than layers above it, provided the fossil beds have not been disturbed. Radioactive dating of fossils is more problematic, because of infiltration of fluids from elsewhere, and the carbonate circulation in the ocean is immeasurable long compared with its circulation rate in the atmosphere. So a shellfish could construct its shell from radiocarbon that was already centuries old, or from recycled old carbonate. In some circumstances it can be done however.
