Which types of rocks are formed above ground?
Extrusive igneous rocks are one type of rocks that can be formed above the ground. Sedimentary rocks can also be formed above the ground.
What rocks are formed by the effect of heat and pressure on other rocks?
the metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and extreme pressure from other rocks
Is sedimentary rocks formed the same way normal rocks are?
No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.
What kind of rock is formed when loose rocks and dirt are transported and re-deposited?
sedimentary rocks are formed
Metamorphic rocks can be formed from sedimentary rocks by the activity of?
heat and pressure
What could a geologist learn by finding rocks that have ripples or mud cracks?
A geologist could infer that the rocks were formed in an environment with moving water, such as a river or beach, if they find ripples. If they find mud cracks, they could suggest that the rocks were formed in a dry, arid environment that experienced periods of drying and wetting. These features can provide important clues about the past depositional environment of the rocks.
What causes waves in the rock layers?
depending on the rock. sedimentary rocks are formed under water and may have water wave ripples. metamorphic rock has been pressed into waves. igneous rocks flowed in waves
What is the name of Dinosaur tracks in rocks?
Fossilized impressions
How do ripples form in sedimentary rocks?
The ripples do not form in the rocks, they form in soft, sandy sediment usually in water. The sediments are preserved after they have been buried, de-watered and turned into rock.
Why is it difficult to find fossilized plants and animals together in the same location?
Fossilized plants and animals are often found separately because they have different preservation conditions. Plants are usually preserved in sedimentary rocks, while animals are more commonly found in sedimentary rocks or amber. The chances of both being preserved together in the same location are low due to the specific conditions required for fossilization to occur.
What happenes during each method to form intrusive igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks are formed under high heat conditions. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed by the crystallization of magma in the Earth's crust.
Where and under what conditions are metomorphic rocks formed?
They can be formed just about anywhere but are commonly found near the sites of volcanos or places volcanos were once active. They are formed by other rocks put under heat and pressure.
How are rocks formulated?
Rocks are formed through a process called the rock cycle, which involves three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks are formed from cooled magma or lava, sedimentary rocks are created from the accumulation and compression of sediments, and metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks under intense heat and pressure. The type of rock formed depends on the specific conditions present during its formation.
What type of rock is spongolite?
Spongolite is not a type of rock, but rather a type of fossilized sponge material that is found within rocks. It is formed when sponges are preserved in sedimentary rocks, leaving behind a sponge-like structure that has been replaced by minerals over time.
What are patterns in water?
Some common patterns in water include ripples caused by wind or objects disturbing the surface, waves created by wind or tides, and patterns formed by water flowing over rocks or other obstacles in a stream or river. These patterns can vary in size and complexity depending on the specific conditions and forces at play.
What sedimentary gives info about past conditions of?
Sedimentary rocks are laid down one layer at a time. The layers give information on how the rocks formed.
Can metamorphic rocks turn into diamonds?
Yes, diamonds are formed deep underground under high pressure and temperature conditions. Metamorphic rocks are one of the rock types where diamonds can be formed, typically through the process of metamorphism of carbon-bearing rocks like shale or limestone. However, not all metamorphic rocks can turn into diamonds as specific geological conditions are required for their formation.
