What is hot air spinning upwards?
Tornado
Are mountains formed from deposition of rocks and sand?
Mountains are formed in several ways. ONe was is from volcanic activity. Another is the folding of the Earth's crust. A third way is intrusive rock which is volcanic activity that pushes upwards but never manages to break through the crust to form a volcano.However there was a Welsh village that was just six inches short of being an official mountain (1000 feet high.) The villagers choose to add material to make their hill into a mountain.
How do most of the highest mountains form?
They form by plates pushing upwards
Is cold air tends to go upwards?
Heat rises not cold air.
Compare and contrast graded bedding and cross-bedding?
Cross-Bedding is a feature that occurs at various scales, and is observed in conglomerates and sandstones. It reflects the transport of gravel and sand by currents that flow over the sediment surface (e.g. in a river channel). sand in river channels or coastal environments. Graded Bedding means that the grain size within a bed decreases upwards.

How does mag ma form into extrusive igneous rock?
When molten magma is forced upwards through cracks and weaknesses in the bedrock, on cooling on the surface, an extrusive igneous rock is formed. If the cooling takes place below ground, it is an intrusive formation.
What can magma do?
magma can make igneous rocks! igneous rocks are new rocks found in the earths crust formed around the plate boundaries. Magma from the mantle rises upwards towards the surface forming igneous rocks when it cools eg:-basalt ,granite
Is a plateau created by sediment deposits?
Generally, Yes, but not necessarily. Plateaus are generally created by an upwards thrust of the crust, pushing a flat rock bed further up than the surrounding area. The rock beds closest to the surface are usually either sedimentary rock layers (which are created by compacted sediment deposits) or sedimentary rock layers with intrusive igneous rocks. There are some plateaus that have metamorphic rock beds because the crust has been significantly eroded, warped, or overturned, but metamorphic rocks can be altered sedimentary or igneous rocks.
When magma pushes upward it raises overlying rock layers into?
Domed mountains are mountains that are formed from magma pushing rock upwards. Folded mountains are mountains that are formed from two rock masses pushing against each other.
How are volcanoes formed by convergent plate boundaries?
Where one convergent plate is subducted under another, the sinking slab (which is full of wet sediments and organic remains) is heated and some of it melts to form magmas which migrate upwards to form volcanoes on the edge of the overlying plate.
Is upwards a word?
Upwards is a compound word.
Can water travel upwards?
water cannot travel upwards, because 1) gravity 2) there is a property of water that does not allow it to flow upwards Water can move upwards by capillary action, forced upwards by a pump or natural geyser, it can be carried upwards and can rise in the form of steam or vapour.
What happens if gas cannot escape easily from magma?
If the gases separate rapidly and cannot escape immediately, they can build up pressure greater than that of the overlying rock. When this happens, they break the rock suddenly as a violent explosion occurs sending a plume of gas and ash upwards to heights as great as 20 miles. see related link (below)
What are Uranus' MOST important features?
Uranus is a big, blank ball of gas. It's most interesting feature is that it has no features. It is interesting in that its north pole sticks out sideways, not roughly upwards, like the other planets.
