Which formation occurs when compression causes the crust to rise in one area and sink in another?
Fault-block mountains. A+
What is the western metamorphic belt?
The western metamorphic belt occurs along the northwestern foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It is characterized by a band of faulted and folded metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic rocks of Paleozoic and Mesozic age.
Is turquoise sedimentary igneous or metamorphic?
Turquoise occurs in sedimentary or metamorphic rocks near or at the contact with igneous intrusives.
The layering that occurs in sedimentary rocks is called?
It is called stratification.
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 rock does sedimentary rock turn into at the ocean when erosion occurs?
metamorphic
What type of mountains can form when compression occurs on a large area?
mountains with a point
What temperature is sedimentary rock formed at?
Sedimentary rocks can be formed at any temperature found on the surface of the Earth. Diagensis of sedimentary rocks occurs at temperatures up to the formation of chlorite (200C) from then on they are metamorphic rocks.
If a fault occurs on an area where rock layers have folded what kind of fault will it be?
thrust or reverse fault,
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.
Which formation occurs when compression cause the earth to rise higher than the surrounding area?
folded moutain A+
Where does high and low pressure occurs?
on mountains and on the ground
