How do flat rocks form?
Mos flat rocks are sedimentary, with shale being a prime example. Shale forms from fine sediment being laid down in layers and then later hardened into rock, with the layers preserved. Slate is a metamorphic rock derived from shale that still preserves the layering.
Rocks changed in form from sedimentary or igneous rocks?
Are meatmorphic rocks and also perhaps soil.
What else can sedimentary rocks form from?
All rocks can form from sedimentary because the rock cycle is endless.
How is foliation formed?
Folaiation is caused then flat mineral grains or crystals line up to form a plane in the body of the rock. This can happen during sedimentation or during deformation/metamorphosis.
What is in the formation of igneous rocks but not in formation of metamorphic rocks?
igneous rocks form within earths surface
What form stalactites?
Sediments in sedimentary rocks are often caused by precipitation.
What processes form stalactites?
Sediments in sedimentary rocks are often caused by precipitation.
What are rocks that have grains that lie in a pattern of flat layers or form swirls?
Rocks with grains that lie in flat layers are sedimentary rocks, which include sandstone and shale. Rocks with swirling patterns are often metamorphic rocks, such as gneiss or marble, which have undergone intense heat and pressure causing their minerals to align in distinct patterns.
A high flat-topped landform with cliff-like sides that is larger than a butte is a?
A high flat-topped land form with cliff-like sides that is larger than a butte is a "MESA."
Rocks that are non banded have grains that lie in a pattern of flat layers or form swirls?
The description you provided is a characteristic of foliated rocks, such as slate or schist. These rocks have grains that align in flat layers due to pressure and heat during formation, giving them a layered or swirled appearance.
Why do potholes form at the bottom of a stream?
Potholes form in the stream bottom through erosion caused by water and rocks and wildlife.
How many flat surfaces form a tetrahedron?
Tetrahedron = Triangular PyramidAnswer = 4 (1 Base + 3 Sides)
As explained by the principle of original horizontality sedimentary rocks form in?
Flat layers that may become tilted over time
What have flat tops and extremely steep sides and are usually round or oblong in shape?
Plateaus or mesas typically have flat tops and extremely steep sides, with round or oblong shapes. They form through geological processes such as erosion, uplift, or volcanic activity. Plateaus are elevated flatlands, while mesas are smaller elevated areas with flat tops and steep sides.
What is a broad flat topped land form with steep sides they are similar to plateaus but smaller and are bigger than a butte?
A mesa.
What three rocks form when rocks bend?
When rocks bend, they can form folds, such as anticlines, synclines, and monoclines. These folds are structures caused by the pressure and movement within the Earth's crust, resulting in the bending and deformation of rocks.
What land form is not common in an area of karst topography?
A landform not common in karst topography is typically a flat plain or plateau. Karst topography is known for its distinctive features such as sinkholes, caves, and disappearing streams, which are caused by the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone. Flat plains or plateaus are less likely to form in karst areas due to the erosional processes that create the unique karst features.
