Example of summary?

Precambrian rocks have been so deeply buried that they have changed by heat and pressure. That's a summary about the Precambrian time.


How does the granite of a mountain change first into a sandstone into a quartzite?

The forces of the mountain building slowly pushed the granite upward. This formed a mountain. Water and wind slowly wore the granite away. The sand remaining was carried by streams to the ocean. Over millions of years layers of sediment piled up on the ocean floor and changed to sandstone. Sandstone is a Sedimentary rock. Over time, the sandstone became deeply buried. Heat and pressure changed the sandstone to quartzite, a metamorphic rock. I got this from my science homework. :)


What are two forces that can expose deeply buried fossils?

Erosion


Is deeply buried soil bacteria photosynthetic?

No, deeply buried soil bacteria are typically not photosynthetic. They rely on organic matter for energy and are adapted to low-oxygen environments where photosynthesis is not possible.


Can the temp of earth change a rock?

Yes, rocks deposited near the surface (eg limestone) are changed by the pressure and heat when they are buried deeply in the earth (eg limestone becomes marble)


What rock is deeply affected by intense winds?

Sandstone is a rock that can be deeply affected by intense winds, as constant abrasion from wind-blown sand particles can lead to erosion and the smoothing of its surface. Over time, this process can result in unique landforms such as sandstone arches or hoodoos.


What prevents us from finding precambrian fossils?

Most rocks from that era are deeply buried.


Slope mining is used for deeply buried mineral deposite?

No, if the minerals are deep, slope mining is not possible.


What happens to snow that is deeply buried?

It ends up getting very compact and cold and hard to break up


Which factor prevents us from finding precambrian fossils?

Most rocks from that era are deeply buried.


What time of year is geothermal energy produced?

The idea behind geothermal energy is that the pipework for it is buried deeply enough that the temperature is constant year-round.


How do igneous rocks form from sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?

If any kind of rock-igneous or sedimentary- is far enough beneath the surface, the pressure can change it into a metamorphic rock. Also heat - the effects differ. It doesn't have to be ever so deeply buried, geologically, since metamorphism is usually a orogenic process in the affected sedimentary rock.
