What is originally the geologic time scale placed on earth's rocks in order by what?
Relative age
Where do metamorphic rocks come from how does this happen?
Metamorphic rocks were originally igneous or sedimentary rocks. They were altered by being involved in an episode of mountain building, buried deep and subjected to immense pressures and temperatures. In effect they were the roots of the mountains. Later erosion over millions of years removed most of the mountains leaving the altered rocks for us to see.
Why do geologists say that all rock was originally igneous rock?
It is because all rocks started out as liquidawere once all very,very,very hot liquids.Also,rocks are made of minerals,and minerals are made from lava or magma
What does the following sentence mean. Soils were once rocks?
Earthen soil was originally rock. Over eons, erosion broke the rock down into granules.
Why do igneous rocks stick up above the ground?
Softer rock is originally around the igneous rock but the soft rock has eroded making the igneous rock visible and above ground level.
How did water most help shape the grand canyon?
because it shape the rocks because the rocks were originally sand
What was the woyo mask originally made from?
the woyo mask was originally made of rocks, sticks, peanut butter and jelly!
What was a landform created by water deposition?
The rocks of Himalayas were originally deposited in water.

Relative age
Was Code Lyoko originally made in French?
I THINK SO! I KNOW THIS CUZ THE SHOW ROCKS!!
How the devils marbles were formed?
The rocks were formed through erosion. They were originally rectangular shaped. The erosion happened around the edges of the rocks. The corners started to curve. Now each of the rocks are egg- shaped or spherical.
How did water most help to shape the Grand Canyon?
Yes, it was the flooding of the Colorado River.

How can the magnetic orientation of rocks be used to trace a continent that has drifted?
When rocks are formed, usually from lava flows, the magnetic orientation of them is set as they solidify. As these rocks are affected by continental drift and other factors such as earthquakes, the original magnetic orientation remains. Using the known strengths of the earth's magnetic field over time, it is possible to then tell where these rocks originally emerged.
What rock was oringinally a metamorphic rock?
No rock was originally a metamorphic rock. By the definition of the word metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been formed from other rocks (sedimentary or igneous) either by formation of new minerals because of temperature and pressure changes or by changing the texture of the rock by large stresses shearing the rock.

Earthen soil was originally rock. Over eons, erosion broke the rock down into granules.
