Cherokee Indians ROCK?
Yes the do Rock I know!!!!!!!! Yes the do Rock I know!!!!!!!!
What is the rock cycle and what is the role of plate tectonics in the rock cycle?
The rock cycle is a series of processes on Earth's surface and in the crust and mantle that slowly change rocks from one kind to another.Plate movements start the rock cycle by helping to form magma, the source of igneous rocks. Plate movements also cause faulting, folding, and other motions of the crust that help to form sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
How do we know if rock layers are undisturbed?
The rock layers will be easily visible.
When did The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas - video game - happen?
The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas - video game - happened in 2002.
Is there a relationship between diagenesis and orogensis?
Orogenesis: The process of mountain formation, especially by a folding and faulting of the earth's crust Diagenesis: The physical and chemical changes occurring during the conversion of sediment to sedimentary rock. So, from one geologist to a non-geologist - I'd say no.
What is causing faulting?
Faulting is caused by the stretching or compression of rock by tectonic plate movements
What is the movements in the crust that cause the faulting or folding of rock?
Tectonics.
What is faulting rock?
the breaking of rocks or displacing along the fracture.
What can up and down faulting also be called?
Up and down faulting can also be called normal faulting or graben faulting, depending on the specific geological context. These terms refer to the movement of rock blocks along faults, where one block moves downward relative to the other.
What are the 3 different types of rock movement in earthquakes?
The three different types of rock movement in earthquakes are normal (extensional) faulting, reverse (compressional) faulting, and strike-slip (lateral) faulting. Normal faulting occurs when rocks are pulled apart, reverse faulting involves rocks being pushed together, and strike-slip faulting involves horizontal movement along a fault line.
Why would newer rock layers ever be below older rock layers?
Due to faulting or folding.
What is faulting folding and tilting?
Faulting is the fracturing of rock along a fault line, creating offset blocks. Folding is the bending of rock layers due to compressional forces. Tilting is the slanting of rock layers away from their original horizontal position.
Faulting and folding are both types of what-?
Crustal deformation. That is, when pieces of the Earth's crust change shape due to tectonic forces.
How do geologist know that rock layers are undisturbed?
Geologists know that rock layers are undisturbed by examining the relationships between the different layers. If the layers are parallel and show no signs of folding, tilting, or faulting, they are likely undisturbed. Additionally, the presence of index fossils can help date the layers and determine if they have been disturbed.
Where does the most present day faulting of rock occur?
at boundaries between moving parts of the crust
Where does most present -day faulting of rock occur?
At interfaces between moving parts of the lithosphere
What are the four types of rock disturbances?
The four types of rock disturbances are folding, faulting, tilting, and igneous intrusion. Folding occurs when rocks bend and warp under pressure. Faulting involves movement along fractures in the Earth's crust. Tilting refers to the slanting of rock layers. Igneous intrusion happens when magma is forced into existing rock layers.
