When a sedimentary rock consists of angular and gravel-sized particles what s it called?
If the sedimentary rock contains angular gravel sized (> 2mm) sediment it is called a brecciia. If the gravel is rounded it is called a conglomerate.
Is a gap in the geologic record formed when sedimentary rocks cover an eroded surface called a fault?
No. It is called an unconformity. A fault is a fracture along which blocks of rock have moved relative to one another.
What is the rocky surface of the Earth called?
The rocky surface of the Earth is called the Lithosphere.
What is a buried erosional surface called?
a buried erosional surface is called unconformity.
What is the loosening and lifting of blocks of rock by glaciers is called what?
plucking
What is the island of blocks called in the wind waker?
The Angular Isles.
What is the name of the projections on the inner surface of the small intestine?
projections r called ..VILLI
What is the gradual rounding of the corners and edges of angular blocks of rock called?
Spheroidal weathering

Spheroidal weathering
What is the bony projections in the nasal cavities that increase surface areas are called?
The bony projections are called the superior, middle and inferior conchae. They increase surface area to warm and moisten incoming air.
What are the surface elevations of the tongue capable of perceiving taste called?
Rough projections on the surface of the tongue called PAPILLAE contain taste buds.
The projections of gray matter toward the outer surface of the spinal cord are called?

What is the name of projections on the inner surface of the small intestine?
The minute structures that project from the inner walls of the small intestine are called villi. They help in the digestion process by continuously pushing digested particles in one direction. Their function is to absorb nutrients. These villi effectively increase the surface area of the intestine so more nutrients can be absorbed.
What projections allow the cell to move or moves substances along the surface of the cell?
Projections that allow the cell to move or to move substances along the surface of the cell are called cilia and flagella. Flagella is a single long hair that allows the cell to swim. Cilia are several projections used for movement across the cell surface.
What are the finger like projections in the small intestine that act to increase the surface for absorption?
finger like projections in small intestine are called villi to increase surface area for absorption of food in small intestine.
What is the angular distance of the horizon below the plane of observation caused by the curvature of the earths surface called?
DIP
