Rocks in continental crust are as old as years.?
Rocks in continental crust can be as old as about 4 billion years. This is because the continental crust is made up of a mixture of ancient rocks that have been around since the Earth's early history. By studying these rocks, scientists can learn more about the planet's evolution and geological processes.
Was Igneous rocks were the first rock type to appear on earth?
Yes, by their constituents being the planet's primary materials. Sedimentary rocks started to form only when erosion of the original land created the sediment. Metasediments came later still, as plate tectonics started to metamorphose the early sediments.
What are facts about malleable rocks?
Malleable rocks are rocks that can be easily shaped or molded without breaking. They tend to be softer and more pliable than harder, more brittle rocks. Examples of malleable rocks include talc and soapstone.
Do dark rocks absorb more heat than light rocks?
Dark rocks will absorb more radiant heat than light rocks, for the same reason that any dark object absorbs more heat than an equivalent light object. Light objects appear "light" to us because they reflect more light than objects which appear dark. Dark objects appear dark because they absorb more light and reflect less. However, dark objects will radiate more heat that light objects. Actually, dark rocks do NOT absorb more radiant heat than light rocks. Nor do they radiate more heat than light rocks. Dark rocks DO absorb more LIGHT than light rocks and they then radiate this light at heat. Light rocks reflect the light rather than absorb it and therefore do not radiate as much heat. If you put a light rock and a dark rock next to a HEAT source, the amount of heat absorbed will be related to the makeup of the material rather than to the color.
Are Brittle rocks are more likely to fold then fault?
Brittle rocks are more likely to fault than fold because they are more prone to breaking and fracturing under stress. Folding is more common in ductile rocks that can deform and bend without breaking.
Planet made up of rocks?
The planet that is made up of rocks is Neptune
Which planet is a planet of rocks and ice?
The planet is Pluto, but Pluto is not a planet anymore so no planet has rock and ice in the middle.
How many rocks are there in the Earth?
The amount is forever changing. No one could possibly dream of counting every rock on this planet. There are a lot!
What huge planet with large rings and icy rocks?
There is no planet with large rings and icy rocks. Saturn has rings, but it is not a rocky planet - it is a gas giant.
Is the planet called Saturn mostly gas or rocks?
Rocks
What property controls the type and amount of atmosphere a planet has?
gravity controls the amount of atmosphere that a planet has because the more gravity that a planet has, the more atmosphere it can hold in. God controlled the type of atmosphere a planet had at the start, but since then, the chemical reactions on its surface, volcanic activity, and similar things have changed it slightly.
What is the planet Mars made up of?
the planet mars is made of rocks and air
A planet that has rocks with a redish color?
Mars, which is also known as "The Red Planet".
What is the definition of Terrestrial Planet?
