How does Wegener's hypothesis explain why earth's surface must be moving?
These layers of sedimentary rock were once horizontal. Then crustal movement folded and tilted them.
What is causing the breakdown of sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks, when exposed on the surface, is exposed to weathering.
The majority of surface rocks are?
Sedimentary. They cover 2/3 of the earth's surface.
Which surface feature was made by destructive process?
which surface feature was made by a destructive process
Are igneous rocks produced largely by the deposition and consolidation of surface materials like sand and mud?
No. The description in the question refers to sedimentary rock. Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma.
What type of surface bedrock is most commonly found in New York tug hill plateau region?
Horizontal sedimentary rock layers.

Why does sedimentary rock form in horizontal layers?
Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposit of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water. The horizontal layering happens because it has forms with the passing of time over thousands if not millions of years.
What feature of the inner membrane of the mitochondria allows this organelle to produced a great amount of energy?
a large surface area
What are the 3 type rocks?
Metamorphic, Igneous, and Sedimentary. Sedimentary is produced by river sediments compacted into hard rock by years of pressure. Igneous rock is formed by lava cooling down when it reaches the surface. Metamorphic rock comes from Igneous, Sedimentary, or other Metamorphic rocks and is defined as rock that has been changed from some other rock, called a protolith, by years of heat and pressure beneath the Earth's surface.
What rock type are most common at earths surface?
Sedimentary Rocks. 75% of rocks exposed to the surface are sedimentary. Basalt is the most common type of rock and it is igneous.
Are you more likely to see sedimentary rocks on the surface or deep in earth's crust?
Of all the rock on Earth's surface, 75% is sedimentary rock. But, sedimentary rock is only about 5% of the whole crust. Unlike igneous rock, which forms underground, sedimentary rock forms from materials at Earth's surface. Which this means that sedimentary rocks are more likely to be seen on the surface. Hope this helps :)

In what direction is the polarization of the glare that reflects from a horizontal surface?
It is polarized at 90 degrees to the plane of incidence. If the surface is horizontal, the plane of incidence is vertical & the polarization would be horizontal.
What surface is 90 degrees to a horizontal surface?
Perpendicular
The majority of surface rocks are?
Sedimentary. They cover 2/3 of the earth's surface.
