What else can I help you with?
Where does all the force come from to squeeze sediments together to form sedimentary rocks?
The main force is weight of overlying rocks , called overburden, which puts overburden pressure on sediments and make them compress and compacts
Can rocks stretch?
Rocks can stretch if you apply the force over a long time and the deformation occurs at a very slow strain rate.
What forces affect rocks above the earth's surface?
The main force that affects the rocks on the earth's surface is heat and erosion. Erosion causes rocks to have landslides and heat changes their structure causing them to take place as different structures.
What conditions are necessary to turn igneous and sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks?
Great pressure and heat, but short of the temperature that would completely melt the rock.
Why aren't there very many extrusive ultra-basic rocks?
Ultramafic rocks have a very high melting temperature. Earth's interior is no longer hot enough to produce eruptions of molten ultramafic material.
The bending and buckling of rocks under great force produces a fold a fault a rift a epicenter?
The bending and buckling of rocks under great force produces a fold.
When the force on rocks is great enough the break producing vibrations called?
The answer is Earthquakes.
How many rocks do we produce in the whole world?
We don't "produce" rocks.
What type of white rocks sparks?
Quartz and flint are types of white rocks that can produce sparks when struck against steel. This is due to their hardness and ability to break into sharp fragments when subjected to force.
What kind of rocks can produce metamorphic rocks?
All sedimentary and igneous rocks
What kind of volcano has igneous rocks?
All volcanoes produce igneous rocks.
What force adds energy to rocks?
The force of tectonic plate movement, which causes rocks to collide and shift, can add energy to rocks. This movement generates heat and pressure, causing rocks to change in composition and structure.
What is a natural force that causes rocks to fall or roll down a hill?
Gravity is the natural force that causes rocks to fall or roll down a hill. As rocks are pulled by the force of gravity, they move downward due to the Earth's gravitational pull.
Rocks in the Great Lakes Lowlands?
the great lakes - st lwrence lowlands, are based on sedimentary rocks the great lakes - st lwrence lowlands, are based on sedimentary rocks
Rocks at great depths are under?
Rocks at great depths are under high pressure and temperature due to the weight of the overlying rocks. This can cause the rocks to undergo changes in texture and composition, such as metamorphism, and can also influence the behavior of fluids within the rocks.
What unknown force has arranged the rocks?
gravity
Is the force that squeezes rocks together.?
compression
