Rocks formed by turbidity currents can be identified by the characteristic of graded beds?
False.
Why do the rocks located in stream beds are smooth?
Rocks in stream beds can become smooth due to a process called abrasion. As water flows over the rocks, it carries sediment and particles that constantly rub against the rocks, wearing them down and making them smooth over time. The friction caused by the movement of water and sediment helps polish the surface of the rocks.
What are the different forms in which minerals are generally found?
minerals generally occur in these forms : 1] in igneous and metamorphic rocks minerals may occur in the cracks.crevices, faults or joints.major metallic minerals likes tin, copper, zinc and lead etc. are obtained from veins and lodes. 2] in sedimentary rocks a number of minerals occur in beds or layers. they have been formed as a result of deposition, accumulation and concentration in horizontal strata. 3] due to decomposition of surface rocks, and the removal of soluble constituents, leaving a residual mass of weathered material containing ores. 4] due to alluvial deposits. 5] in oceanic region
Is a plateau created by sediment deposits?
Generally, Yes, but not necessarily. Plateaus are generally created by an upwards thrust of the crust, pushing a flat rock bed further up than the surrounding area. The rock beds closest to the surface are usually either sedimentary rock layers (which are created by compacted sediment deposits) or sedimentary rock layers with intrusive igneous rocks. There are some plateaus that have metamorphic rock beds because the crust has been significantly eroded, warped, or overturned, but metamorphic rocks can be altered sedimentary or igneous rocks.
What type of fold is created when the crust bends and folds downward?
Syncline is a type of fold that is created when the crust bends and curves downward. It is a fold that is convex up and has its oldest beds at its core.
What type of rock is formed on ocean beds?

Where do you find real gold?

False.
Where did the egyptians locate natron?
It was generally found in the dry lake beds that had been left as a result of hydration and then recession of the water in the Nile Valley.The simple answer is "dried up lake beds."

What is the word sill?
a tabular body of intrusive igneous rock, ordinarily between beds of sedimentary rocks or layers of volcanic ejecta.
What does a river cause by removing rocks and soil from the riverbed?
Flood waters cause rivers to scour out their beds, leaving a enter channel.
