Three ways in which sedimentary rocks differ from other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are made up of materials that were once part of another rock. Most sediments are deposited on ocean floors or at the bottom of rivers and lakes.Clastic sedimentary rocks form from layers of sediments. Pressure causes the water around the sediments to be squeezed out and the sediments are cemented together.
How are sedemantiry rocks formed?
Usually through the compacting of sediment (bottom of bodies of water - or places where water once was). Sandstone is the best example. It occurs as a result of much pressure resting on top of silt and or sand.
The type and age of rocks found in this mountain rage are also found on another continent.what does this mean?
The presence of similar types and ages of rocks in a mountain range on one continent and another suggests that these landmasses were once connected, likely as part of a supercontinent. This phenomenon provides evidence for the theory of plate tectonics, indicating that tectonic plates have shifted over geological time. Such geological similarities can also inform scientists about past environmental conditions and the history of Earth's geological processes.
Was Kris Allen in the bottom 3?
He was in the bottom 3 once during Rock Week (the top 5). He was there with Matt Giraud and Adam Lambert.
Is airs rock a meteorite?
Ayers rock or Uluru as it is now called,is an inselberg, literally "island mountain", it is the eroded remnant of what was once a mountain range many millions of years ago.
How a layer of rock containing fossils could be present in a mountain wall that is several thousand feet above sealevel?
The sediments which make up the rocks on the highest mountains were once at the bottom of an ocean, (where the animals lived), and were only pushed up by the action of Plate Tectonics.
Who needs the gun powder in poptropica?
Once you get the gunpowder, go to the viking time with the time capsule. Go up to the cave blocked by rocks. Click on the rocks and stand back. once you click on the rocks, the gunpowder will be lit and will explode thus, the rocks going in different directions, and letting you into the cave.
How do scientists infer that some mountains were once underwater?
By looking at the different layers of material that make up a mountain you can determine if a mountain was once under the sea. There are fossil layers within the layers of rock and soil that make up the mountain. If there are layers containing fossils consistent with sea life a scientist could infer that that mountain was once under the sea. This could be the result of higher sea levels in the past or it could be the result of tectonic processes that have formed the mountains by pushing the land high above sea level.
What is the disadvantage of mountain to man?
I live on a mountain in Greece, and we usually go for a climb or walk and the sharp sides of the rocks are dangerous, if you are scared of heights it's dangerous too, but as long as you stick on the inside you will be fine, its best to know where you're going as well, because there might be a steep drop somewhere, my boyfriend nearly fell once.
Which sea did mount Everest rise from?
Mt Everest is made from a deep water marine shale made from three main rocks gneiss, slate and two different shades of sand stone, formed in the Precambrian Era.
How were the fossil symbols and mountain belts helpful in deciding where tove the continents?
Fossil symbols and similarities in mountain belts across different continents provided evidence for the theory of continental drift, suggesting that the continents were once connected. By looking at the distribution of fossils and rocks across continents, scientists were able to piece together the historical movement and eventual arrangement of the continents.
Rocks that were once magma are now called?
igneous rocks
Do mountain ranges on different continent seem to match?
Yes, some mountain ranges on different continents appear to match when continents were once part of the same supercontinent, such as Pangea. For example, the Appalachian Mountains in North America have similar rock structures and formations as the Caledonian Mountains in Europe, suggesting they were once connected.
The type and age of rocks found in this mountain range are also found on another continent. what might this means?
This could indicate that the two continents were once connected as part of a larger landmass or plate before drifting apart due to plate tectonics. The presence of similar rocks on different continents suggests they share a geological history and may have formed under similar conditions.
Does some rocks contain material that where once part of every rock type?
Yes, some rocks, known as metamorphic rocks, are formed from the transformation of pre-existing rock types through heat, pressure, or chemical processes. These rocks may contain material that was once part of different rock types before undergoing metamorphism.
What is some evidence from mountain ranges of things that happened long ago?
Mountain ranges, like anywhere else, contain evidence of many things, and your question is very broad. However, one example is found in the high Himalaya. Here we can find limestone with shell fossils in it, evidence that these rocks were once the bed of an ancient sea.
How many years a mountain can exist before it is washed to the sea?
It depends on what the mountain is made of and whether or not it is still being uplifted. The schist rock at the bottom of the Grand Canyon was once at the bottom of island mountain. In that sense, the mountain still partially exists. The age of the rock--between 1.8 and 2 billion years old.
