What else can I help you with?
What is the layer below the atmosphere?
Troposphere it is. It is the closest to the earth's surface.
Where are you if you are at the Gutenberg Discontinuity?
The Gutenberg Discontinuity, is the boundary, as detected by changes in seismic waves, between the Earth's lower mantle and the outer core about 1800 miles below the surface. It is also called the core-mantle boundary.
Are the tempertrues below the water on the celsius scale positive or negative numbers?
On the Cecilius scale water freezes at 0 degrees at STP. Therefore below the surface of a boy of WATER on Earth, the temperatures will always be positive.
What material is most likely to be found 20 kilometers below sea level at the continental mountain location?
Granite
Why is solifluction only a summertime phenomenon?
In the summer, the soil thaws to some depth below the surface, but the water is trapped in the thawed soil because the permafrost zone is impermeable. Thus solifluction occurs only in the summer when the surface soil layer is thawed. In the winter the surface soil layer is frozen solid.
Does granite form at the earth's surface?
No, granite forms deep within the Earth's crust from the slow cooling of magma. It is an intrusive igneous rock, meaning it forms below the surface.
How are granite rocks made?
Granite is formed by the cooling and consolidation of felsic magma below the surface of the Earth.
Is granite a stone?
Yes. Granite is an igneous rock. It is formed when magma cools slowly below the surface of the earth.
What are found below the earth surface?
iron granite coal moten rock
Is granite below or above the surface?
Granite forms below the surface, but it can be found at the surface where it has been exposed by erosion or uplift.
Is granite formed from organisms?
No. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, formed from the cooling, solidification, and crystalization of magma below the earth's crust/surface.
The extrusive counterpart of granite?
The extrusive chemical equivalent of intrusive granite is rhyolite.
Is granite part of the crust layer of the earth?
Yes, granite is a type of rock that is commonly found in the Earth's crust layer. It is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of magma below the Earth's surface.
What rock have been modified by heat pressure and chemical process usually while buried deep below earth surface?
granite
When large masses of magma solidify far below earth's surface what type of rocks form?
Igneous rocks, such as granite or diorite, are formed when large masses of magma solidify far below Earth's surface. These rocks have a coarse texture due to the slow cooling process, allowing large mineral crystals to form.
In some places granite rock extends as deep as?
Granite rock can extend as deep as several kilometers below the Earth's surface. The depth of granite formations varies based on geological factors such as tectonic activity and the movement of Earth's crust. These deep-seated granite rocks are typically part of the Earth's continental crust.
What is igneous rocks that form below Eart's surface are called?
Igneous rocks that form below the Earth's surface are called intrusive or plutonic rocks. These rocks cool and solidify slowly, allowing large mineral crystals to form. Examples include granite and diorite.
