Is you put Heat And Pressure On Sandstone you get what?
As sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed from grains of sand over millions of years), applying heat and pressure is likely to pulverise the sandstone.
How was Africa carved up?
Africa was formed when the supercontinent Pangia started to spread apart over the course of millions of years, thus creating all the continents including Africa
What is the catastrophist explanation for how most sedimentary rocks formed?
Sediments are piled on top of one other over short periods of time
Why do sedimentary rocks often form layers?
because all the different types and weights of the sediments means that some fall through the water faster than others so when they compress into rock the heaviest sediments will be at the bottom etc.
Is sedimentary rock made from solidified lava?
Rock that is formed from volcanoes are igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from other layers of grains that are heaving and over millions of years have enough weight squish the grains into a proper rock. This is why the newest rocks are found at the top of layers.
How were Hawaiian islands were formed?
Volcanoes formed the Hawaiian Islands over millions and millions of years.
What are rocks formed from sediments deposited over time?
Rocks formed from sediments deposited over time are called sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed through the compaction and cementation of sediments, such as sand, silt, and clay, which have accumulated and solidified over millions of years. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
How is petroleum formed?
scientists think that petroleum formed from the remains of plankton and other microscopic protists, plants, and animals living in shallow seas millions of years ago. The remains of these organisms settled on the ocean floor and were covered by sediments. Over millions of years, the pressure and heat produced by the sediments coverted the remains of these organisms into a syrupy liquid.
How are plankton sediments formed?
As plankton die, it sinks to the sea floor, and over many years, a sediment is formed.
Which fossil fuel is formed over millions of years from sun?
Fossil fuels are formed on Earth, not on Sun.
Was the crayon invented by mistake?
the grand canyon formed over millions and millions of years ago
How do sediments turn into coral reefs?
Sediments turn into coral reefs when coral colonies are formed over them, a process that can take thousands of years.
What type of rock is Durdle door?
Durdle Door is made of limestone, which is a sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of marine organisms and sediments over millions of years. It is part of the Jurassic Coast in southern England.
What is a fuel formed over millions of years?
Coal, Natural Gas and Oil
How is flint formed and what geological processes contribute to its creation?
Flint is formed through a process called diagenesis, where silica-rich sediments are compacted and cemented together over millions of years. This process typically occurs in marine environments where organic matter is present, such as in ancient seabeds. The silica in the sediments comes from the skeletons of marine organisms like sponges and diatoms. Over time, these sediments harden into flint due to pressure and chemical changes in the Earth's crust.
What is the uniformitarian explanation for how most sedimentary rocks formed?
According to uniformitarians, sediments are laid down slowly over millions of years. Eventually, conditions change and the sediments harden to form rocks. The conditions during which the sediments were laid down determine the type of sediment, which in turn determines the kind of rock formed.
Is it true that Fossils most often form when a dead organism is buried in sediments.?
yes only if they are buried for over millions of years
