What type of stress occurs when layers of rock are pulled apart?
It is the SHEAR.
The type of rocks that form where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers are called?
The type of rock that forms where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers are called organic sedimentary rock.
Archaeologists tend to find fossils most often embedded in which type of rock?
Sedimentary rock layers
Which rock has many layers?
Sedimentary rock.Or more in geology and related fields, a stratum (plural: strata) is a layer of rock or soil with internally consistent characteristics that make it different it from contiguous layers either side of it. Each layer is generally one of a number of parallel layers that lie one upon another, laid down by natural forces.A sedimentary rock is one form of rock that can be stratified, but there are other examples of strata that are not sedimentary on origin (e.g. a layered igneous body or a flood basalt).
Do conglomerate rocks have layers?
You will find that all rocks in nature are divided into layers known as strata, where each rock bed consists of a different rock. All rocks exist in strata, even if other strata are not visible. If you meant 'Do conglomerate rocks have layers within them?"; the formation of conglomerate means that there is no sorting or stratification, though the contained fragments are rounded. Therefore we can conclude that naturally and left to its own devices, conglomerate does not have layers. Alternatively, a joint in the rock may give the impression of a layer division as the pattern is offset and erratic. However, this is not to be confused with any layers that a different rock type may contain, as this is due the stress exerted on the rock, forcing the weakest lines to split.
What type of rock have flat layers?
Sedimentary rocks have flat layers.
What type of rock has flat layers?
Rase
What metamorphic rock type has flat layers?
Foliated rock
What type of rocks are banded or non banded?
Slate is a type of metamorphic rock. It is a foliated metamorphic rock that has a banded, or layered, appearance due to exposure to directed pressure and heat.
What is a type of metamorphic rock that has parallel layers?
Foliated rock has parallel layers.
What type of rock forms from layers of sediment?
Sedimentary rock.
What type of rock forms in layers?
That would be sedimentary rock, and (honorable mention) occasionally metamorphic rock.
What type of rock is composed of layers of small particles or sediments?
sedimentary rock
What type of rock is usually identified with layers?
Lime
What is rock formed from material that settled in layers?
This type of rock would be classified as sedimentary.
Whick type of rock has layers?
Sedimentary rock, such as limestone, chalk, slate and sandstone.
Which type of rock forms in layers which are called strata?
Strata refers to the individual layers in sedimentary rock. On occassion, igneous rock can also demonstrate stratification.
