What rock is most commonly found in the Earth's crust?
Igneous rock, and specifically basalt.
Is groundwater oil and natural gas commonly found within pore spaces in sedimentary rocks?
Groundwater, oil, and natural gas are commonly found in these spaces in sedimentary rock?
What are large blocks of rock under the earth's crust?
What are large blocks of rock under the earth's crust?
What Mountains made of huge tilted blocks of rocks surrounding faults?
the faul-block mountains are made of huge tilted blocks of rock that are separated from surrounding rock by fault
Why are tilted blocks of rock common along mid-ocean ridges?
Plates move apart at these tectonic plate boundaries.
What is commonly found in metamorphic rock?
A texture know as foliation is common in metamorphic rock and garnets are more commonly found in metamorphic rock than other rock types of the crust.
What is phosphous most commonly found in?
phosphorus is commonly found in the earths crust because it is a rock
Which type of sedimentary rock is commonly used for constructing buildings because it is soft enough to be cut into blocks?
sandstone
What is a mountain that is a fault-block mountain?
These mountains form when faults or cracks in the earth's crust force some materials or blocks of rock up and others down. Instead of the earth folding over, the earth's crust fractures (pulls apart). It breaks up into blocks or chunks. Sometimes these blocks of rock move up and down, as they move apart and blocks of rock end up being stacked on one another.
Rock strata may be what?
Tilted at steep angles and horizontal or slightly tilted.
Are Olivine and quartz commonly found together in the same rock?
No they are not
Fossils are most commonly found in which type of rock?

Where is radon most commonly found on earth?
In granite rock
Is galena metamorphic sedimentary or igneous?

What rock is most commonly found in the Earth's crust?
