What showed proof for Alfred Wegener on Pangaea?
We know Pangaea existed because of fossil evidence. There were fossils of the same animal found on Africa and South America. This animal couldn't have possibly swam across the ocean. Therefore, making the idea of Pangaea plausible.
What is the difference between texture and composition?
BASCILY texture is feel of something an Composition is what does it take to make up something.Texture is based on the sizes, shapes and position of the rocks grains. The Composition of a rock is determined by the minerals that make up the rock. Composition and texture are two characteristics that scientists use to classify rocks.
How do geologists use rocks to prove the existence of oxygen in earths early atmosphere?
They look at the mineral composition of the rocks. There are some minerals that can only form in the presence of oxygen.
What are the advantages of frost wedging?
It helps to breakdown rocks without affecting their chemical composition or altering their minerological properties.
What are 5 factors wegener used to support his theory of continental drift?
1. The continents fit together, like a jigsaw puzzle. 2. Similar plant and animal fossils. 3. Large ice sheets. 4. Tropical plants. 5. Scratches on the rocks.
What does a chemist learn about the moon's surface by analyzing moon rocks?
The chemical composition of these rocks is determined. The results showed that these rocks are virtually identical to those of the Earth.
What did Alfred wegener use?
He used fossils, climates, and rocks.
Are rocks a chemical makeup?
Yes, the composition of the rocks is as a result of the distinct chemical composition.
What crust composition?
rocks
What is the the crusts composition?
rocks
Does the composition of a sedimentary rock depend upon the composition of the rocks and the living things its sediments came from?
It is true that the composition of a sedimentary rock depends upon the composition of the rocks and living things its sediments come from. Sedimentary rocks form through lithification.
What is the composition of a comet?
The composition of a comet is frozen gases, dust, and rocks.
Scientists classify rocks by?
Scientists classify rocks based on their mineral composition, texture, and how they were formed. These classifications help geologists understand the history and properties of rocks. There are three main categories for classifying rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
What kind of rocks are rocks in which the structure texture or composition have changed?
Metamophic Rock :)
Where did Alfred wegener found glacial striation?
Alfred Wegener found glacial striations on rocks in Greenland and Scandinavia while studying evidence for continental drift and the theory of plate tectonics. Glacial striations are scratches or grooves on rocks caused by the movement of glaciers over time. Wegener used these features to support his idea of a supercontinent called Pangaea that later split and drifted apart.
How are igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks classified?
Igneous rocks are classified based on mineral composition and texture, metamorphic rocks are classified by texture and mineral composition, and sedimentary rocks are primarily classified by their grain size and composition. These classifications help scientists understand the origin and characteristics of each type of rock.
What are mineral composition of rocks?
Mostly death
