Is it true that the deeper a rock is buried in the crust the less pressure there is on that rock?
No. The deeper a rock is buried, the more pressure it is under.
If someone would go to the Earth's crust what would it be like?
We are living on the surface of the Earth's crust. The deeper you would go into the crust, the hotter it would get.
What is oceanic crust and continental crust made of?
Oceanic crust is predominately made of basaltic rock with a thin layer of sedimentary rock on top. Continental crust is predominately made of granitic rock, with a thin layer of sedimentary rock covering much of the visible surface.
What are large blocks of rock under the earth's crust?
What are large blocks of rock under the earth's crust?
Why is the Earth's crust is hard to drill into?
The Earth's crust is not hard to drill into there's just a lot of it. The crust is just the rock ground- digging a hole in the ground is breaking the crust. The reason we have not penetrated it is that it is 5 miles thick at its thinnest point. The deeper you go, the hotter it gets, and beyond a certain depth, it would become too hot for any drills to work properly.
Is it true that the deeper a rock is buried in the crust the less pressure there is on that rock?
No. The deeper a rock is buried, the more pressure it is under.
How can a piece of granite can be changed from an igneous rock to a sedimatery rock and then to a metaphoric?
A piece of granite can be changed from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock, and then to a metamorphic rock as it gets buried deeper within the Earth's crust.
Which properties of a rock may change as the rock become metamorphic?
crust deeper rock
Is it true that deeper the rock is buried there is less pressure in the rock?
It matters in the middle of the lies the core which would make it hard to pressurize and heat
Which type of rock is most commonly found buried deep under mountains or in the Earth's crust?
igneous rocks
What would be a correct statement regarding metamorphic rock formation?
the deeper into earth crust the higher the pressure that forms metamorphic rocks
That humans will ever be able to travel deeper then the crust of earth why or whynot?
I do not think humans can travel deeper than the crust because, the crust and the mantle is too thick. The crust is 600km and the mantle is 12,900km.
Is a rock pool deeper when the tide is in?
a rock pool is deeper when the tide is in
How does a metamorphic rock becomes an igneous rock?
If a metamorphic rock is buried deeply in the earths' crust it comes under great pressures and temperatures. If these are great enough to re-melt the rock it ceases to be metamorphic and when it cools, it re-crystallizes into an igneous rock.
What is the zone where descending rock move deeper and deeper?
Cave in
How does Burial metamorphism differ from Regional and Contact metamorphism?
Burial metamorphism differs from regional and contact metamorphism in that it is the result of rocks being buried deeper into the earth's crust through tectonic movements.
Who has been past the earth's crust?
Nobody has gone deeper than the upper part of the crust.
