Is a rock with visible layers and no minerals likely to have formed lava hardening on Earth's surface?
yes
Is it true that older rocks are usually closer to earth's surface than more recent rock layers?
No. Think about it. Why do archaeologists usually have to dig down to find the remains of ancient civilizations? The same is true with sedimentary rock history.
A fold in which the oldest rock layers are in the center of the fold is?
If rocks are folded, the folding is younger that the youngest rock affected. If they are folded into a syncline (a U-shaped fold) the youngest rocks are in the core of he fold. The opposite is true for an anticline (a big dome-shaped fold).
Is this true or false sedimentary rocks can be turned into metamorphic rocks when heat and pressure is applied?
that is definitely true!
True or false continental crust is made of rocks such as granite?
true
Is it true layers of rock near the surface are the oldest rocks?
This is false.
Is the following sentence true for false the deeper one travels into the grand canyon the younger the rocks become?
False
What is superpostioning?
The Law of Superposition states that younger layers of deposition will form on top of older layers of deposition.
Is it true that sedimentary rocks is formed from many layers of sediment?
Yes, it is true. Sediments get blown together by wind, and then layer on top of each other. Over time, there's lots of pressure, and the lower sediments become sedimentary rocks.
Is a rock with visible layers and no minerals likely to have formed lava hardening on Earth's surface?
yes
Is it true lakes are generally larger and deeper than ponds?
True
Is it true that older rocks are usually closer to earth's surface than more recent rock layers?
No. Think about it. Why do archaeologists usually have to dig down to find the remains of ancient civilizations? The same is true with sedimentary rock history.
What is true of the layers of a star?
the inner layers are very cool, the outer layers are somewhat cool
A fold in which the oldest rock layers are in the center of the fold is?
If rocks are folded, the folding is younger that the youngest rock affected. If they are folded into a syncline (a U-shaped fold) the youngest rocks are in the core of he fold. The opposite is true for an anticline (a big dome-shaped fold).
There are five layers of earths atmosphere true or not?
:9 true
How do fossils in rock layers help scientists identify the age of rocks?
depending on how deep the rock is in the ground tells scientists how old the rock is
Is this true or false sedimentary rocks can be turned into metamorphic rocks when heat and pressure is applied?
that is definitely true!
