How is the natural gas trapped underground?
Sand and silt changed to rock, covering organic material, and trapped it beneath the rock. Pressure and heat changed some of this organic material into coal, some into oil, and some into natural gas.
What does clay like material that fell to a lake bottom turn into after a millions of years of pressure and heat?
Over millions of years, clay-like material that falls to a lake bottom is subject to intense pressure and heat. This results in an incredibly slow and gradual process of change. The clay-like material will transform into a sedimentary rock, such as shale or mudstone. These rocks are composed of particles of clay and other minerals that have been cemented together as a result of the pressure and heat. The sedimentary rock will also contain fossils and other evidence of the organisms that were present at the time the clay-like material was deposited. This is because the process of sedimentary rock formation preserves and encases the fossils and other organic material that was present in the clay-like material when it was deposited. Thus, after millions of years of pressure and heat, the clay-like material that fell to a lake bottom is transformed into a sedimentary rock containing fossils and other evidence of past life.
Why are rocks hot?
If a rock is hot, it has been heated by a source of heat, either man-made or natural. However the rock itself, may be the source of heat - in which case it contains radioactive material undergoing decay and is most likely dangerous!
Why is it unlikely that fossils would be found in igneous rock?
Igneous rock is cooled Magma. Organic material is vaporized at that heat. Fossils are readily fornd in sedimentary rock where the organic material is covered under layers of silt which, through time and pressure, forms into sedimentary rock.
Which material is not moving in the rock cycle?
what type of material is not moving in the rock cycle
How well rock material holds water?
rock holds water because rock have very tiny molecules and they are so close that water cannot pass through it
What is in a rock?
material that is under extreme heat and pressure and molds together to become a rock
What is in a metamorphic rock?
material that is under extreme heat and pressure and molds together to become a rock
How does heat energy in the earth's mantle affect the rock material?
newdiv
How does heat in the form of friction and pressure affect the rock cycle?
The heat (in the form of friction and pressure) affects the rock by performing a process called menstrual which changes the material of the rock, but not the mass.
What holds sediment in rock?
The sediments in sedimentary rock are held together by precipitated cementing material which is commonly silicate, carbonate, clay, or iron in composition.
What rocks on earth were created by enough heat to completely melt the material making up the rock?
Igneous rock is formed from solidified melt.
What is a skarns?
Molten rock that moves throgh crustal carbonate rock, That is heat the rock. Hot water as a form of steam or superheated fluid reats with crustal rock and other igneous material.
When the heat beneath the surface of the earth melts the plate material and sends molten rock to the surface a?
a volcano eruption.
Which type of rock is marble made of?
Marble is a metamorphic rock type form. Marble is used as a building material and as sculpture material also.
How is the natural gas trapped underground?
Sand and silt changed to rock, covering organic material, and trapped it beneath the rock. Pressure and heat changed some of this organic material into coal, some into oil, and some into natural gas.
Is Igneous rock made up of lava magma and heat?
No. First of all, heat is not a substance. Something cannot be made of heat. Igneous rock forms from lava, magma, or tephra that has colled. Magma is molten rock in the earth's interior. Lava is molten rock that has been erupted onto the surface by a volcano. Tephra is material that has been ejected into the air by a volcano.
