Which force squeezes Earth's crust to make the crust longer and thinner?
compression
Which force squeezes Earth's crust to make the crust shorter and thicker?
the equator squeezes it in and it gets so tight that the ground starts to crack and break. +++ No it doesn't. Compression comes in continental collision.
What is a constructive force?
a constructive force is a natural event that helps the earth like, weathering. weathering helps the earth by depositing sediments into other spots
What if Coulomb's Force is gone?
If Coulomb's force is gone , the material structure of the Cosmos would be gone. Coulomb's force hold atoms together and molecules together and matter together.
How is the Atom's nucleus held together?
The residual strong force. The strong force (or color force) is what holds quarks together to form protons and neutrons. The residual strong force then holds the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.
Where does all the force come from to squeeze sediments together to form sedimentary rocks?
The main force is weight of overlying rocks , called overburden, which puts overburden pressure on sediments and make them compress and compacts
What force squeezes and pushes together?
compression
Is the force that squeezes rocks together.?
compression
Force that squeezes rocks together?
Plate Tectonics
What is the force that squeezes rocks together?
Stresses the squeeze rocks or anything else are compressive.
What is an elastic force that squeezes or pushes the particles of a material together?
Compression
What is the name of the force that squeezes material together?
Sand squeezed together, and aged, can make a pearl.
What two processes play a role in forming sedimentary rocks?
The process of lithification changes rocks into sediments. This process is broken up into two parts: cementation and compaction. In cementation, the substance crystallizes, or fills in the spaces between loose particles of sediment. In compaction, the sediments are squeezed together by the weight of layers on top of them.
Why do wind and water deposit sediments?
When the energetic wind or water loses its energy, the force of gravity will dominate, causing deposition of the sedimentary particles.
What is a stress force that squeezes rock?
an earthquake
What is the force that pushes on or squeezes bridge parts?
Compression
What is a force is responsible for a rivers capability to move sediments?
The force that is responsible for moving sediments in a river is the current.
