What are the relative ages of igneous intrusion and overlying sedimentary rock layers that dome upward?
The igneous intrusion is typically younger than the overlying sedimentary rock layers in a dome structure. The intrusion must have occurred after the deposition of the sedimentary layers and caused them to deform and dome upward due to the force of the molten rock pushing through.
Which type of rock forms due to the weight of the overlying rocks?
Sedimentary rock forms due to the weight of overlying sediments, which compress and cement together over time.
What generates the pressure required for metamorphism?
Pressure required for metamorphism is generated by the overlying rock layers or tectonic forces exerted on the Earth's crust. These forces cause compression, which leads to an increase in pressure within the rock, ultimately resulting in metamorphic changes. Additionally, the weight of overlying rocks contributes to the pressure required for metamorphism.
What is the name of a small igneous rock body emplaced at shallow depths by uplift and arching of the overlying older strata?
A small igneous rock body emplaced at shallow depths by uplift and arching of the overlying older strata is called a laccolith. It is characterized by a mushroom-shaped intrusion that forms when magma is injected between sedimentary strata, causing the overlying rock to arch upwards.
How is a glacier formed the melting and refreezing of snow the weathering and erosion of snow the erosion and deposition of ice the melting and precipitation of snow?
A glacier is formed through the accumulation of snow that compresses into ice over time. As more snow falls and compacts, it displaces air and forms glacial ice. This process is aided by the weight of the overlying snow, which causes the lower layers to compress and recrystallize into ice.

What presses sediments together?
Usually weight from above, whether from a body of water or from additional sediments.
What is the deposition of sediment?
i luvv one direction for life
Found in the upper thorax overlying the heart?
Thymus
What is an overlying bowel?
Overlying bowel gas is more or less exactly what it sounds like - a bubble of air in the intestines that is on top of another structure you want to image with the ultrasound. Unfortunately, air bounces ultrasound waves back and doesn't allow you to see what's behind it, so you may see "overlying bowel gas" in an ultrasound report indicating the technician was unable to see some of the abdominal viscera.
Which type of rock forms due to the weight of the overlying rocks?
Sedimentary rock forms due to the weight of overlying sediments, which compress and cement together over time.
Pressure ulcers are usually associated with skin overlying where?
The skin overlying bony prominences is the most prone to developing ulceration.
Which type of rock forms due to weight of the overlying rocks?
Metamorphic
What generates the pressure required for metamorphism?
Pressure required for metamorphism is generated by the overlying rock layers or tectonic forces exerted on the Earth's crust. These forces cause compression, which leads to an increase in pressure within the rock, ultimately resulting in metamorphic changes. Additionally, the weight of overlying rocks contributes to the pressure required for metamorphism.
Why does the inner core receive the greatest amount of pressure?
There is pressure within the earth due to the overlying material that the earth is formed from. The deeper within the earth you go, the greater the amount of overlying material pushing down due to gravity and so the greater the pressure. As the inner core has the largest amount of overlying material pushing down upon it, it experiences the greatest pressure.
Why is there so much more pressure exerted on the earths core than the earths surface?
Pressure is the weight of an overlying column of material. The pressure at the core comes from 6400km of overlying rock, which is much denser than air
Why is there so much more pressure exerted on the earth's core than on the earth's surface?
