How can ingneous rock disturb sedimentary rock layers?
Molten Rock from with in earth can force its way up through the layers above it cooling and forming igneous rock.
What rocks are usually found with layers?
Sedimentary rock. It forms when layers of sediment pile up.
What are the particles in sedimentary rocks called?
Sedimentary rocks are made from particles called sediment. They are made from layers of sediment (small particles) on the bottom of rivers or seas. The sediments are compressed as more layers build on top of them. The particles then become cemented together to form solid rocks. The layers of rock are called strata. Sedimentary rocks have a grainy structure and they easily crumble.
Broad areas of folded rock layers that resemble a bowl turned right-side up are called what?
Broad areas of folded rock layers that resemble a bowl turned right-side up are called "domes." In geology, domes are formed by the upward movement of rock layers due to tectonic forces, resulting in a circular or oval shape. They are often associated with the uplift of sedimentary rock layers and can lead to the exposure of older rocks at the surface.
What kind of rock is Venus made of?
Venus is made up of a central iorn core and a rocky mantle similar to earth. Venus is made up of a central iorn core and a rocky mantle similar to earth.
What are two layers of rock that made up of mantle?
the two layers of rock that made up of mantle is the solid rock and liquid rock
Which two layers of the earth are made up of rock?
Crust and mantle
What are the rock layers under new york?
New York has a few layers of rock that hold up the state. These layers are granite gneiss, taconic orogeny, and Manhattan Prong. Manhattan Prong is made up of sandstone and marble.
What kind of mountain range formed when rock layers are squeezed and forced up ward?
tectonic plates
What kind of rock is Florida made mostly up of?
Florida is made up of limestone

What kind of rock breaks apart easily has layers and little round pebbles in it?
The rock you are describing sounds like shale. Shale is a type of sedimentary rock that is made up of fine layers or sheets, which can easily break apart into smaller pieces. It often contains small round pebbles or grains of different minerals.
If a fault occurs on an area where rock layers have folded what kind of fault will it be?
A fault that occurs on folded rock layers is likely to be a thrust fault, where one block of rock is pushed up and over the other. This type of fault is common in areas where horizontal compression forces have folded the rock layers.
What type of rock is normally used in a cliff?
Cliffs are commonly made of sedimentary rock, formed by layers of compressed materials such as sandstone, limestone, or shale. These types of rock are more prone to erosion and weathering, leading to the steep and rugged features found in cliffs.
What kind of rocks make up red rock crops?
Red rock crops are typically made up of sandstone or siltstone, which contain iron oxide minerals that give the rocks their red color. These rocks form when layers of sediment are compacted and cemented together over millions of years, creating the distinctive red hues seen in red rock landscapes.
Which layer is made of solid rock?
The Earth is made up of several layers, divided by sub-layers, divided by even more sub-layers. There is the core, which is mostly made up of solid iron; the outer core which is up to 10% liquid so still contains a lot of solid rock; the lower mantle which is ductile (solid rock that is not completely melted but still solid in a 'plastic' state), the upper mantle which consists of crystalline forms of olivine and pyroxenes among some other solid materials, and then the crust which on average is about 40 km thick. Whereas the crust is made of solid rock, there are other layers that are solid rock as well.
How can ingneous rock disturb sedimentary rock layers?
Molten Rock from with in earth can force its way up through the layers above it cooling and forming igneous rock.
