What type of rocks make up most of Earths surface?
Sedimentary rock is the most common Earth surface rock.
What features are found on earths surface?
Mountains and lakes.
How is sedimenary rocks formed?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the earths surface when sediments hardens into rocks :]
Which type of rock directly on the weathering that occurs on earths surface?
Sedimentary rockSedimentary rockSedimentary rock
What type of rock can only form on or near earths surface?
Sedimentary rocks are the type of rocks that can only form on or very near Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form from weathering processes that occur on Earth's surface.
What is the science of studying the earths surface and features called?
Geology
What are the most common type of rock found at the earths surface and in the earths crust?
The most common type of rock found at the Earth's surface and in the Earth's crust are sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediments such as sand, mud, and organic debris. Sedimentary rocks cover about 75% of the Earth's surface.
What parts of the Rock cycle occur at the Earth's surface?
Mostly the sedimentary part which involves the process of weathering, and diagenesis occurs at the earths surface.
What is the force that builds up features of earths surface?
Constructive Force
How do earths surface features indicate changes overtime?
Earth's surface features, such as mountains, valleys, rivers, and coastlines, reveal the planet's dynamic history through processes like erosion, sedimentation, volcanism, and tectonic activity. For example, the formation of mountain ranges indicates tectonic uplift, while river valleys showcase erosion over time. Fossils embedded in sedimentary layers also provide clues about past environments. By studying these features, scientists can reconstruct geological timelines and understand how Earth's landscape has evolved.
How do earths surface features indicate over time?
Earth'surface features indicate the Earth's history and it looked like billions of years ago. For example: the Appalachian Mountains in North America are similar in age and structure to Atlas Mountains in Africa that mean these two mountains were once part of the same mountain belt
Are contour lines used to indicate horizontal distances or vertical distances on earths surface?
Horizontal
