Is chrysophrase a igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?
Chrysoprase is a variety of chalcedony, which is a form of silica. It is primarily considered a sedimentary mineral because it forms from the deposition of silica in sedimentary environments, often in the presence of nickel, which gives it its distinctive green color. While it can be found in some metamorphic settings, its formation is most commonly associated with sedimentary processes.
What type of rocks have fossils found in them?
Fossils are nearly always found in some type of sedimentary rock. Limestone is a sedimentary rock which very commonly contains fossils, as is coal.
What rocks can pyrite be found in?
Pyrite could be found in any of the three rock types (sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic).
What processes found at a divergent boundary help form the following rocks?
The process of upwelling magma is found a divergent boundaries. As this magma nears the surface it decompresses, and some of it flows onto the surface of the Earth as lava. Magma that solidifies beneath the surface of the Earth hardens into gabbro while lava on the surface of the Earth hardens into basalt. Both of these are igneous rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the heat flowing from the igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the sediments collecting in the basins created from rifting (that is, the divergent boundaries). Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks are not considered to be formed at divergent boundaries.
The thickest sequences of sedimentary rocks are typically found in?
They are found in basins.
What processes found at convergent boundary will help form the following rocks?
At a convergent boundary, the processes of subduction, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, can lead to the formation of metamorphic rocks such as schist and gneiss. Additionally, the intense heat and pressure generated by the collision of two plates can cause the melting of rocks, leading to the formation of igneous rocks like granite.
Is a composite volcano on a divergent boundary or convergent boundary?
They can be associated with both, but are most often found near convergent boundaries.
Which landform would most likely be found at a convergent subduction boundary?
convergent boundary -rift valley divergent boundary -mid-ocean ridge
What type of volcano is found along convergent boundary?
Composite cone
What features can be found along convergent boundaries?
Generally (I think probably always), a mountain range develops at a convergent boundary.
What are some convergent plate boundary?
convergent boundaries are easy to find most of them are found in the ocean. One Famous convergent plate boundary would be the Sunda Double Trench. It is found in the Indian ocean and it reaches a depth of 24,440 feet. It is the deepest trench in the Indian Ocean.
What plate boundary is in the Himalayan mountains?
The Himalayas are found at a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone where one plate slips under the other driving the land mass up.
What are Convergent plate boundary's?
convergent boundaries are easy to find most of them are found in the ocean. One Famous convergent plate boundary would be the Sunda Double Trench. It is found in the Indian ocean and it reaches a depth of 24,440 feet. It is the deepest trench in the Indian Ocean.
Which type of volcano formation would typically be found under convergent boundary?
single
What type of volcanic formationb would be typcially found under convergent boundary?
Chain
What type of convergent plate boundary is found along the southern part of the Himalayas?
Subduction
What kind of boundary is found where mountain ranges are created?
Convergent boundaries are typically found where mountain ranges are created. This is where two tectonic plates move towards each other, causing the crust to buckle and push upwards, forming mountain ranges.
