How are the saturated zone and unsaturated zone alike?
Both layers contain water.
What rock has stripes or layers in it?
Sedimentary rock can display strata, and some metamorphic rocks display metamorphic foliation; both can appear as stripes, layering, or banding.
Both the oceanic and continental crusts are partially composed of what material?
Both oceanic and continental crusts consist primarily of igneous rock although they both contain some sedimentary rock. Oceanic crust is composed mainly of basaltic rock, while continental crust is composed of granitic rock.
Are gabbro and granite similar?
Yes, they are and this is due to the fact that they are both intrusive (a rock having been forced between preexisting rocks or rock layers while in a molten or plastic condition).
You find a rock and notice it is formed from layers it is most likely to be which type of rock?
It is most likely to be sedimentary. However both Igneous and metamorphic rocks can manifest a layered structure so this feature is not diagnostic on its own.
If a rock layer in Mexico and a rock layer in Australia contain the same index fossil what do you know about the absolute ages of the layers in both places?
Both would have the same age, and according to plate tectonics, both Mexico and Australia would have been part of the same land mass.
How are the saturated zone and unsaturated zone alike?
Both layers contain water.
When rock layers bend due to stress?
"Folding" is the term that describes the bending of rock layers due to stress.There are different types of Folds and these include:Anticlinal Folds: This is when the rock layers have an upward-arching folds.Synclinal Folds: This is when the rock layers have a downward, trough-like folds.Monoclinal Folds: This is when both rock layers ends are horizontal.
What are the similarities between the mantle and the crust?
They are both layers of the Earth comprised of rock....other than that, there are no similarities.
What rock has stripes or layers in it?
Sedimentary rock can display strata, and some metamorphic rocks display metamorphic foliation; both can appear as stripes, layering, or banding.
How are igneous and metamorphic rocks alike?
Both were created under extreme heat and can contain crystals or gems.
What do igneous and metamorphic rock have in common?
Both igneous and metamorphic rock were created under extreme heat and can contain crystals or gems.
How are sills and similar?
Dikes and sills are relatively thin. They both have magma to squeeze or force itself across layers of rock.
Does a sedimentary rocks contain particles from other rocks?
yes sedimentary rock countain all particles from both igneous and metamorphic rock.
Are the rock layers still continuous on normal fault?
Yes I think ************************************* If the fault is a fissure (crack) without any slippage (movement up or down) then the layers on both sides will remain on the same level. If slippage has occured, there will be no continuity of layers.
Both the oceanic and continental crusts are partially composed of what material?
Both oceanic and continental crusts consist primarily of igneous rock although they both contain some sedimentary rock. Oceanic crust is composed mainly of basaltic rock, while continental crust is composed of granitic rock.
How are sills dikes similar?
Dikes and sills are relatively thin. They both have magma to squeeze or force itself across layers of rock.
