What else can I help you with?
Cracks in the ground that allow steam and gas to escape?
These are typically called fumaroles, and can occur along cracks or fissures in the ground.
What is vertical section of soil that starts at earth's surface and moves down to the bedrock is called an?
The answer is Soil Profile------------------------------------
Which bedrock would most likely to contain fossils?
sedimentary bedrock
What is a fertile layer of decayed plant material called?
The Rigolirh, the roots are found in the Bedrock.
What are the springs that form where pressurized water flows through cracks in cap rock?
The springs that form where pressurized water flows through cracks in cap rock are called Artesian springs. This is the type of spring that feeds drinking wells.
What are cracks in the moon's bedrock called?
Cracks in the moon's bedrock are called "faults" or "fractures." These features are caused by stress and movement within the lunar surface, much like on Earth.
Cracks in the moon's bedrock are called A. highlands. B. rilles. C. maris. D. umbra.?
B. rilles. Rilles are long, narrow depressions on the Moon's surface that are typically formed by ancient lava flows or tectonic activity. They can appear as cracks in the bedrock when viewed from a distance.
What are the long deep cracks in the Maria Bedrock on the Moon called?
The long deep cracks in the Maria Bedrock on the Moon are called rilles. These are narrow, trench-like depressions that can be several kilometers wide and hundreds of kilometers long. Rilles are thought to have formed from a combination of volcanic and tectonic processes.
How do plants help breakup bedrock and minerals in soil?
Root fibers find cracks, and grow into those cracks and then increase in diameter, forcing apart the rock and minerals.
What name is given to solid rock beneath the soil?
The solid rock beneath the soil is called bedrock. It serves as the foundation for the layers of soil and other materials above it.
What are Jupiter's largest moons called?
they are called moons
Why is bedrock called the parent material of soil?
Bedrock is called the parent material of soil because it is the underlying layer from which soil is formed through weathering and erosion processes over time. The composition and properties of bedrock influence the characteristics of the soil that develops on top of it.
Which factor has the greatest influence on the weathering rate of Earth's surface bedrock?
The presence of water is the factor with the greatest influence on the weathering rate of Earth's surface bedrock. Water can seep into cracks in the bedrock, freeze, expand, and cause physical weathering. It also participates in chemical weathering processes that break down the minerals in the bedrock.
How does the process of plucking cause erosion?
Plucking is a glacial erosion process where ice plucks rock fragments from the bedrock as the glacier moves. This occurs when the ice freezes around rock fragments and then plucks them off the bedrock. The process of plucking can deepen existing cracks in the bedrock, leading to further erosion as the glacier moves.
What is a type of opening along which weathering agents attack bedrock?
A type of opening along which weathering agents attack bedrock is a joint. Joints are fractures in the rock that provide pathways for water and other weathering agents to penetrate the bedrock, leading to physical or chemical weathering processes.
What is a landscape feature that has tilted bedrock called?
a mountain
What happens to hydrofracturing fluids and the bedrock is cracked?
When bedrock is cracked during the hydrofracturing process, the fluids injected to fracture the rock can escape into the cracks, potentially contaminating groundwater. This can pose a risk of groundwater pollution with chemicals used in the fracking fluid and from the release of naturally occurring substances from the rock formations. The extent of the contamination will depend on factors such as the depth of the cracks and the proximity to groundwater sources.
