Which type of rock can form below Earth's surface or below Earth's surface?
Igneous rock can form deep below the surface as intrusive igneous rock, or on or near the surface as extrusive igneous rock. X Answer is: Igneous
Why the rock of the mid Atlantic ridge is younger than the rock found on the edge of the continents?
The rock of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is younger because it is formed through seafloor spreading where new crust is created at the ridge and moves away from it. In contrast, the rock found on the edge of continents is older because it has been at the surface for a longer time and has undergone various geological processes.
What kind of igneous rock forms near the Earth's surface?
Rhyolite is an igneous rock that forms near the Earth's surface through the rapid cooling and solidification of silica-rich magma.
When melted rock cools or hardens on or under earth's surface it forms what rock?
Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.
How was soapstone ridge formed?
Soapstone ridge was formed through the geological process of regional metamorphism. The original rock, typically shale or other sedimentary rock, underwent intense pressure and heat deep within the Earth's crust, causing the minerals within the rock to recrystallize and form soapstone. Over time, uplift and erosion exposed the soapstone ridge to the surface.
What is water - rock interations on Karst?
Is the morphological landscape of dissoloution and percipation of near surface bed rock.
Where are the youngest rock on the ocean floor found?
Near the mid-Atlantic ridge.
Why is the rock farther from the ocean ridge is older than the rock near the mid ocean ridge?
By determining the age of rock samples obtained by drilling on the sea floor.
What is an underwater ridge of coral or rock that rises close to the surface?
it is a REEF
What is a weak spot in the Earths crust where molten rock comes to the surface?
The mid-Atlantic ridge.
Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface?
The forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface are not the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface because the processes of the rock cycle beneath the earth surface and above the earth surface are diffferent.
What is an igneous rock that forms at the surface?
Igneous rock formed at or near the surface is referred to as extrusive igneous rock, such as basalt and obsidian.
When melted rock cools or hardens on it under earths surface it forms rock?
Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.
Is the layer of rock near the surface the oldest?
false
Which type of rock can form below Earth's surface or below Earth's surface?
Igneous rock can form deep below the surface as intrusive igneous rock, or on or near the surface as extrusive igneous rock. X Answer is: Igneous
What do you call an underwater ridge that rises up close to the earths surface?
An underwater ridge rising close to the surface is called a reef. A reef is typically made of rock, sand or coral that lies 80 meters or less beneath low water.
Why the rock of the mid Atlantic ridge is younger than the rock found on the edge of the continents?
The rock of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is younger because it is formed through seafloor spreading where new crust is created at the ridge and moves away from it. In contrast, the rock found on the edge of continents is older because it has been at the surface for a longer time and has undergone various geological processes.
