What else can I help you with?
Here rocks above this surface are forced up and over rocks below this surface?
Reverse fault
What rocks above a fault are forced up and over the rocks below the fault?
a reverse fault
Here rocks above this surface are forced up and over rocks below the surface?
This geological phenomenon is called overthrusting, where older rocks are pushed up and over younger rocks due to tectonic forces. It results in the older rocks being positioned above the younger ones.
Is igneouse rocks in the ground or above?
Igneous rocks can be found both in the ground and above ground. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, which can happen below the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks).
At a what is rocks above the fault surface forced up and over?
Submersion zone, as described in the theory of plate techtonics.
What is igneous rocks that form below Eart's surface are called?
Igneous rocks that form below the Earth's surface are called intrusive or plutonic rocks. These rocks cool and solidify slowly, allowing large mineral crystals to form. Examples include granite and diorite.
Can igneous rock be formed above or below ground?
Yes, igneous rocks can be formed both above and below the ground. When molten rock solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, it forms intrusive igneous rocks like granite. If molten rock reaches the Earth's surface and cools rapidly, it forms extrusive igneous rocks like basalt.
What occurs when rocks above the fault surface move downward in relation to rocks below the fault surface?
This kind of fault is called a normal fault and is usually a sign of crustal extension.
What term describes an erosional surface bounded above by flat-lying sedimentary rocks and below by igneous or metamorphic rocks?
nonconformity
Where is the groundwater located under the surface?
Its located above layers of impermeable underground rocks. At or below the water table.
What igneous rocks form above the earths surface?
Igneous rocks that form above the Earth's surface are called extrusive or volcanic rocks. Examples include basalt, andesite, and rhyolite. These rocks form when magma erupts onto the surface and cools quickly.
Does igneous rocks mean fire rocks?
Sort of. An igneous rock is one that started as molten magma and then cooled and solidified either above, on, or below the surface.
