How is an overthrust formed?
an overhtrust is formed when pressure becomes very great and a fractur occus and the recumbent fold is pushed over the other fomring an over thrust fold
Is schist rock by an active volcano?
Generally not. Schist is a metamorphic rock formed when other rock types are exposed to immense pressure. If schist is found near a volcano, it is only by coincidence.
What rocks are formed by the effect of heat and pressure on other rocks?
the metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and extreme pressure from other rocks
What rock formed when slate is exposed to more heat and pressure?
When slate is exposed to more heat and pressure, it typically transforms into a metamorphic rock called schist. Schist is characterized by larger mineral grains and a foliated texture, often resulting in a shiny appearance due to the alignment of minerals.
Igneous and sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat They will most likely form?
If igneous rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to recrystallize into new igneous rocks. On the other hand, if sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to metamorphose into metamorphic rocks.
How were the Rocky Mountains across Nevada and Utah formed?
They were formed from the pressure of two tectonic plates pushing against each other.
What is a barricade constructed around exposed resources to shelter it from over pressure and fragmentation?
A berm is a barricade constructed around exposed resources to shelter it from over pressure and fragmentation. It is usually made of compacted earth or other materials and acts as a protective barrier in case of an explosion or other hazardous event.
What are rocks made when other rocks are subject to intense pressure and heat?
Metamorphic rocks may be formed.
How was soapstone ridge formed?
Soapstone ridge was formed through the geological process of regional metamorphism. The original rock, typically shale or other sedimentary rock, underwent intense pressure and heat deep within the Earth's crust, causing the minerals within the rock to recrystallize and form soapstone. Over time, uplift and erosion exposed the soapstone ridge to the surface.
Where and under what conditions are metomorphic rocks formed?
They can be formed just about anywhere but are commonly found near the sites of volcanos or places volcanos were once active. They are formed by other rocks put under heat and pressure.
How are most volcanic mountains formed in California?
when rocks become hot enough, and pressure and other condition are right they can melt.
