What else can I help you with?
What is the saturation horizon?
The saturation horizon refers to the depth in the subsurface where all the pore spaces in a rock are filled with fluid. Below this horizon, the rock is completely saturated with fluid, usually water or hydrocarbons, and any additional fluid injected will displace some of the existing fluid.
What makes the rock more fluid in the mantle?
High temperature and pressure in the mantle cause the rock to become more fluid-like. This allows it to flow slowly over geological timescales, contributing to the movement of tectonic plates. Additionally, the presence of partial melting can further decrease the viscosity of the rock, increasing its fluidity.
What type of rock is knownto have a porosity of 22. How much fluid could be present in 50 L of this rock?
Sandstone is known to have a porosity of around 22%. In 50 liters of sandstone with 22% porosity, there could be approximately 11 liters of fluid present (50 L * 0.22).
Can a rock have high porosity but low permeability?
Yes, it is possible for a rock to have high porosity, meaning it has a lot of open spaces or pores, but low permeability, indicating that the pores are not well connected or that the rock's structure hinders the flow of fluids. As a result, while the rock can hold a lot of fluid within its pores, the fluid may not be able to flow easily through it.
What is the plastic like rock of the lower mantle called?
the plasic like rock of the lower mantle is the asthenosphere
What is the fluid or semi-fluid material from which ingneous rock is formed?
lava
Fluid rock material from a volcano?
lava
What happens if the pores within the rock layers are connected?
Then fluid can travel through the rock, and the rock is said to be "permeable".
What is the saturation horizon?
The saturation horizon refers to the depth in the subsurface where all the pore spaces in a rock are filled with fluid. Below this horizon, the rock is completely saturated with fluid, usually water or hydrocarbons, and any additional fluid injected will displace some of the existing fluid.
Transmission fluid leaking after rock hit bottom of car?
Transmission fluid leaked out of car very fast. After hitting large rock. Could it be the transmission pan is broke? That is a possibility
How hydraulic rock breaker works?
Hydraulic rock breakers are powerful percussion hammers. The rock breaker works on the principal of hydraulics, where putting pressure on one part of a fluid transfers pressure to all areas of the fluid, allowing a multiplication of force.
Heat and pressure deep beneath Earths surface can change any rock into rock into?
... the fluid state we call 'lava'.
How does hot fluid change the mineral composition of a rock during metamorphism?
Hot fluid dissolves materials and adds other materials :)
What is a skarns?
Molten rock that moves throgh crustal carbonate rock, That is heat the rock. Hot water as a form of steam or superheated fluid reats with crustal rock and other igneous material.
What three things control whether or not a rock will melt?
temperature, pressure, and fluid
Explain what roles fluids play in rock metamorphism?
It is played as a solumential guidence fluid that flows through the rock to give it its color
How does the addition to fluid relate to the formation of magma?
When the fluids enter the already hot mantle rock, the melting temperature of the hot rock decreases. As a result, the rock begins to melt.
