What would be covered with thick turbidite layers?
deep-sea fan at the base of a continental slope
How did oil and gas get so deep in the ground?
Over millions of years fossil fuels were created by dead plant and animal matter. They are deep in the ground because, just like onions, soil has layers :) and over millions of years the ground gets covered up by even more ground. It's the same concept with archeology. Digging pots and other things out the ground. :)
A geologist finds deep gouges and scratches on bedrock in an area once covered by a glacier These scratches are evidence of the type of erosion called?
Plucking
Which is evidence that an area was once covered by a glacier?
Evidence a region was (or just as importantly, was not) covered by glaciers usually comes in the form of such glacial features asmorainescirques"erratics" (rocks moved from one place to another)glacial tarnsmost especially wide, U-shaped valleys with stepped stream gradientsdeep coastal fjordsabsence of deep sediment and short distance to bedrockEven in very cold climates, these features are different from those found in central and northern Alaska, Siberia and Manchuria. We know that central and northern Alaska, eastern Siberia, most of Mongolia, and Manchuria were never covered by glaciers because of such features as V-shaped valleys, concave stream gradients and most importantly the deep sediment in their soils.The reason Siberia, Manchuria, central and northern Alaska, and also the Patagonian steppes, were not glaciated during the Quaternary is simply that they were too dry. Except for the Patagonian steppes, all these regions are even today cold enough for glaciers, but so little snow fell and falls that even with much reduced ablation glaciers cannot develop. (For instance, Barrow receives only 29 inches of snow whereas glaciated Nunavik receives over 100.)In hot regions, soils are so weathered it clear that glaciers could never have formed since the Carboniferous even if there is no deep sedimentation.
How are glacial troughs formed?
A glacier trough is also known as a U-shaped valley and is formed when a glacier passes through it. The glacier erodes the bottom of the valley through abrasion, and the sides of the valley through freeze-thaw weathering. It wears away the softer rock but when it gets to the harder, tougher rock it can't erode it to give the glacial trough its shape. Hope this helps!
How many miles deep is 18000 feet?
3.4 miles deep
Fissure or deep cleft in glacial ice?
crevasses
How do continental shelves form?
The continental shelves were developed in between the glacial periods as the ocean flowed over the continents forming shallow areas along the coasts. The continental shelves developed today were formed like 18000 years ago.
Why is there vegetation in the interior plain?
The interior plain we see now is covered with vegetation but not to the extent it was pre glacial. The glaciers scrubbed all the loose soil and vegetation from the interior plains and it has taken 4,400 years for some areas to be re-covered. Many desert areas just do not get enough rain to maintain a growth of vegeattion to revitalise the soil so any plants that do spring up after rain lack deep roots and dry out and die off.
What is another name for a deep covered dish?
Tureen.
What is another name for deep-covered dish?
casserole
What are the valleys in Norway?
You may be thinking of a fjord (or fiord), a narrow, deep inlet (generally in a coastal landscape) formed by glacial activity.
What is the wide gap in the Rocky Mountains?
The wide gap in the Rocky Mountains is known as the Trench. It is a large, deep valley that runs along the eastern side of the mountain range. It was formed by tectonic forces and glacial activity over millions of years.
