How are the features of the earth formed?

Here are the steps of formation of our planet Earth:1. 4600 million years ago ,the solar system is formed from a cloud of gas and dust,the cloud broke up into particles of ice and rocks, which stuck together to form planets,2.The Earth was formed from colliding rocks,the heat of collisions caused the planet to glow red.3. 4500 million years ago, the surface cooled to form the crust ,and4. The continents broke up and performed gradually taking their present positions.That's all.buddy!!And were formed by particles mixing


What are the parts of the rock cycle?

The rock cycle consists of three main parts: 1) igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, 2) sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediments, and 3) metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure within the Earth's crust.


List 3 things that cause both erosion and deposition?

Wind, water, and glaciers can cause both erosion by transporting particles away from a location and deposition by depositing these particles in new locations.


What landforms do wind erosion and deposition form in deserts?

In deserts Abrasion and Deflation produce a number of distinctive landforms which include ventifcats, yadangs and zeugen. You can search for these 3 types of landforms which are created due to wind erosion.


Which 3 different ways can sedimentary rocks form?

Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area. The material will then be transported from the source area to the area of deposition. The type of sediment that is transported to a place depends on the geology of the hinterland (the source area of the sediment). However, some sedimentary rocks, like evaporites, are composed of material that formed at the place of deposition. The nature of a sedimentary rock therefore not only depends on sediment supply, but also on the sedimentary depositional environment in which it formed.

1) Sound wave always require material medium for their propogation. 2)Sound wave are type of transvers wave. 3)Speed of sound wave can be calculated by speed=sqrt(tension*length of wire/massof wire)


What is a delta and how is it formed?

A delta is a land form created at the mouth of the river by the gradual deposition of river born sediments. See also "alluvial fan."


How is a sedimentary rock is form?

Sedimentary rocks are formed as a result of deposition of materials at the surface of the Earth or within water bodies.


Which is a sedimentary rock?

A sedimentary rock is a rock formed at or near the Earth's surface by the accumulation and lithification of fragments of preexisting rocks or by precipitation from solution at normal surface temperatures. Sedimentary rocks can be formed only where sediments are deposited long enough to become compacted and cemented into hard beds or strata. They are the most common rocks exposed on the Earth's surface but are only a minor constituent of the entire crust. Their defining characteristic is that they are formed in layers. Each layer has features that reflect the conditions during deposition, the nature of the source material (and, often, the organisms present), and the means of transport.
