Intrusive rocks come into other rocks in a molten state and when they cool they are frequently very hard with interlocking cemented crystal structures. When erosion occurs it is easier for wind, ice and rain to wear down the rocks into which the igneous rocks were intruded than the hard igneous rocks themselves. This leaves the igneous rocks sticking up (like King Arther's Seat in Edinburgh or the Tours of Dartmoore) as prominent features.
Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from magma that cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface. They are more resistant to weathering and erosion compared to surrounding rocks, which are often sedimentary or metamorphic in nature. Therefore, when the less resistant rocks are worn away, the intrusive igneous rocks are exposed at the surface.
The soil and rocks left behind by a glacier are called moraine. Moraines can be classified as lateral, medial, or terminal, depending on where they are deposited in relation to the glacier. These deposits play a vital role in shaping the landscape and providing insights into glacial history.
An isolated remnant of wave erosion is a coastal landform that has been created by the gradual wearing away of rocks and cliffs by the action of waves. These remnants can include sea stacks, arches, and caves that are left behind as the surrounding rock erodes away.
Yes, When the glacier melts, all the rocks underneath are still there.....AnswerYes rocks melt out of Glaciers. The main types I can remember:Glacial till ( rocks left as an even bed )Erratics are large rocks (Boulder's) left scattered aboutLateral moraine's. These are drifts of rocks left where a stream has melted and cut a route through the glacier or the edges of where the glacier got to or whereTerminal Moraine is where a Glacier got to and stopped advancing or retreating for a time thus plowing up a big long narrow pile of rock.
The rock is called a glacial erratic when it is left behind by a glacier, and is of a completely different material composition than the rocks on which it was deposited.
because it is made by heat and intence crushing and dimonds and marble are both made this way.

Large rocks are left behind and dry soil is transported away. B- Dry soil is transported away in a process called deflation
Moraine.
Glacial drift.
Two things: 1. Comet tails do not follow along behind the comet. Comet tails always point away from the Sun. 2. Comets are not rocky, they are icy.
He left behind about $900,000.
its a evaporite left behind from left over minerals from other rocks
buals
lol im bored are you?
