When mineral grains are flattened into layers?

This may be due to the overburden load, which is essentially the weight of all the material above the layer of minerals in question squashing them flat. Or it may be due to deformation caused by the movements of tectonic plates which often causes a form of deformation known as shearing where two things slide past each other. When this occurs in ductile rock masses, it acts to flatten and rotate mineral grains so that their long axis is parallel to the shear plane.


Which material will the sun heat up the slowest?

Something that reflects the heat, like a mirror (something light or shiny) - materials that reflect a large proportion of the incident radiation are said to have a high albedo (or reflection coefficient).The material that has the highest specific heat (hydrogen)The material that is in thermal contact with cooler surroundings or that is not isolated from the surroundings)The material that has the most compact shape (a solid block will heat up slower than a thin sheet)

What does sandstone come from?

What parts of an atom produce magnetism?

Every atom with the electron(s) revolving - or "spining" - around the atom's nucleus is a little magnet itself. Electrons of all atoms in a piece of material revolve (spin) in all possible directions, the magnetic field produced be each atom-magnet cancel each other and there is no general magnetic field in the material. If under the influence of an external magnetic flux picture does not change the material is said to be non-magnetic. On the contrary, if under the influence of the external magnetic flux the electrons spinning allign in the direction of the flux, the magnetic field of every atom allign too and produce a general magnetic field - the material is magnetic.
