What generates the pressure required for metamorphism?
Pressure from weight of overlying rock.
How does coal form in the ground?
From the pressure of overlying sediments squeezing the water out of ancient plant remains.
Heat from earths interior and pressure from overlying rock transform the remains of marine sediments into?
rock
What does heat from earths interior and pressure from overlying rock transform te remains of marine sediments into?
oil and natural gas
What are two reasons the particles in a sedimentary rock stick together?
Compression due to pressure from overlying sediments and the presence of cementing substances such as clay and/or iron.
Which of the following can be caused by excessive pressure from overlying structures over a cavern?
sinkholes
What generates the pressure required for metamorphism?
Pressure from weight of overlying rock.
Why is there so much more pressure exerted on the earths core than the earths surface?
Pressure is the weight of an overlying column of material. The pressure at the core comes from 6400km of overlying rock, which is much denser than air
Why is there so much more pressure exerted on the earth's core than on the earth's surface?
Pressure is the weight of an overlying column of material. The pressure at the core comes from 6400km of overlying rock, which is much denser than air
Why does the inner core receive the greatest amount of pressure?
There is pressure within the earth due to the overlying material that the earth is formed from. The deeper within the earth you go, the greater the amount of overlying material pushing down due to gravity and so the greater the pressure. As the inner core has the largest amount of overlying material pushing down upon it, it experiences the greatest pressure.
Where does coal come from?
From the pressure of overlying sediments squeezing the water out of ancient plant remains.
Pressure ulcers are usually associated with skin overlying where?
The skin overlying bony prominences is the most prone to developing ulceration.
Heat from earth's interior and pressure from overlying rock transform the remains of marine sediments into?
rock

Heat from earths interior and pressure from overlying rock transform the remains of marine sediments into?
rock
When your hot water tank heats up it will start to leak out the pressure valve Why?
1- excessive pressure 2- excessive temperature
Why does most of the rock in the asthenosphere remain solid?
The rock in the asthenosphere is under immense pressure from the overlying rock. Increased pressure raises the melting point of most substances.
