What are rocks that are resistant to erosion called?
Cap rock. Resistant cap rock will help protect softer rock below it from erosion. Any rock type that is more resistant to erosion than the rock type below it is called a cap rock. For instance, it could be basalt (igneous) overlying limestone (sedimentary), or limestone (sedimentary) over shale (also sedimentary).
What kind of springs form where pressurized water flows through cracks in cap rocks?
Artesian springs form where pressurized water flows through cracks in cap rock.
A crack in the cap rock of the aquifer allows the water to flow from a?
An Artesian Spring
What type of erosion caused hoodoos to form?
The two theories if hoodoo formation (aside from metaphysical reasons) are: * Water eroded and cracked the harder cap rock on the hoodoos to be. The water in the cracks froze and thawed cracking off chips which were washed away. When the rough shape of the hoodoo was formed the cap rock biscuit acted as an umbrella to protect the center of the hoodoo. The outer edges then rounded off with ongoing spalling of rock in cycles of wetting and freexzing. * Sand blown by the wind eroded the hoodoos from soft rock. This is discredited by the lack of a single eroded side to the hoodoos caused by prevailing winds
Why is the arctic ice cap not considered a glacier?
Because it is frozen sea water. A glacier is frozen fresh water.
Water that flows from a crack in the cap rock?
a spring whose water flows from a crack in the cap rock over the aquifer
What are springs that formed where pressurized water flows through cracks in cap rock?
The springs that form where pressurized water flows through cracks in cap rock are called Artesian springs. This is the type of spring that feeds drinking wells.
