How did people in 19th century think mountains were formed?
they thought the metallic plates of the earths crust rubs together and pushes the earth up
How does a metamorphic rock turn into a igneous rock?
If it finds its way dowm into the earths crust through rock cycle and then is melted and mixes together to form molten magma, it could re-erupt to the earths surface and form an extrusive igneous rock or cool and solidify within the earths crust as an intrusive igneous rock.
What do intrusive rock have in common with extrusive rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are not classified by the terms intrusive or extrusive. These are terms used specifically for igneous rock classification, referring to rock that has formed from melt either below or on the surface.
Why does the earths surface not get any smaller or larger using divergent and convent plate boundarys?
The Earth's surface remains relatively constant in size due to the processes occurring at divergent and convergent plate boundaries. At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma to rise and create new crust, which offsets the surface area lost at convergent boundaries where plates collide and one is subducted into the mantle. This recycling of crust ensures that, overall, the Earth's surface area remains stable. Thus, any new crust formed at divergent boundaries is balanced by crust being destroyed at convergent boundaries.
What are some similarities between volcanic and uplifted mountains?
a volcanic mountain is a cone shaped mountain formed when molten rocks erupts from a hole in the earths crust.
What is 5 km below the earths surface?
crust
Which of the regions below the earths surface are believed to be solid?
It is said that the crust and the inner core are to be solid.
What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle
Does the outer core cover earths surface?
No the crust covers earths surface
What is formed through the uplift under the earths crust?
crust
What igneous rock formed from lava have a fine?
Volcanic (Extrusive) igneous rock, which are formed by lava that comes out of the earths crust, then cools and solidifies rapidly on the earths surface due to exposure to the environmental atmosphere.
What is the surface layer of the earths surface is known as the?
The "crust" or biosphere
What is the polished surface of the earths crust?
slickensides
What layer is closest to earths surface?
The crust
What is earths top surface?
It is called the crust.
Where is each type of igneous rock formed?
The Extrusive igneous rock is formed on the earths surface while the Intrusive igneous rock is formed within or inside the earths crust.
Does the earths crust extend deeper below the continents or below the ocean basins?
Earths crust extend deeper below the continents than below the oceans basins (or at least this is what I think).
