How is a marble mined?
Marble is usually created by the regional metamorphism of limestone. Therefore, marble could be found in areas of uplift and folding at depth, or erosionally exposed areas of old mountains.
Explain that folding faulting and uplifting can rearrange the rock layers so the youngest is not always found on top?
Whenfolding, faulting, and uplifting occurs, the youngest rock layer can not always be on top. With folding the oldest rock layer could get folded over on top of a younger layer. When faulting occurs a younger rock layer can become "lower" or pushed more down in the rock layers that was originally shown. When these things happen, then rock layers can become out of order and the youngest layer is not always on the top of the layer.
Characteristics The Central Highlands?
They are divided into three groups (in Canada) -Western Cordillera -Appalachian Mountains -Innutian Mountains This area is great for mining, but not good for agriculture due to thin soil and large amounts of bedrock. Various different types of rocks are found. Mountain ranges with interior plateaus are very prominent. Lastly, these formed when the Pacific and North American plates collided causing faulting and folding.
What types of faults would you expect to find in these mountains?
Reverse faulting is found in the Himalayas. With a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
