What do you call groundwater found between the layers of rocks inside the crust?
Aquifer.
Are gems usually found in rocks?
yes
What are foliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated rocks have layers in them. We often refer to the layers as Banding.
Rocks changed in form from sedimentary or igneous rocks?
Are meatmorphic rocks and also perhaps soil.
Why are younger rocks normally found on older rocks?
This applies to sedimentary rocks. If you think about how sediments settle to the bottom of water, then obviously newer ones are on top of old ones. As the weight of successive layers squeezes the lowest ones into rocks, the order of layers is preserved. This happens even if the layers are subsequently tilted. Very occasionally the order is disrupted if whole sections of rock are cracked away and inverted by earth movements. Igneous rocks are formed from molten magma, which can squeeze into cracks in existing rocks, so where igneous rocks are concerned, the argument doesn't apply.
In rock layers what is usually found at the bottom?
Normally, the oldest rocks are found at the bottom of the layers, being the first of the sediments that were deposited.
In observing rock layers I am usually found on the bottom What are you?
Old rocks! New or young rocks are at the top!
In observing rock layers am usually found on the bottom. What am i?

What are the layers found in sedimentary rocks called?
The layers in sedimentary rocks are called strata.
What is the liquid found between layers of rock?
Oil is the liquid energy that is found between layers of rocks.
Where are rocks usually found?
rocks are usally found on the groung or in it
How can older rocks be found on top of younger rocks in a cross-section?
If the strata layers are folded or tilted then the older rocks can be found on top of the younger rocks in a cross-section.
In observing rock layers Iam usually found on the bottom What are you?
in rock layers what is found at the bottom
Do foliated rocks have layers?
Non-foliated metamorphic rocks generally do not have distinct layering.
In what type of rocks are usually found?
Sedimentary Rocks.
Why rocks are found in layers?
they are found in layers because over the millions of years they have formed over the top of each other and eventually formed a rock
What do you call groundwater found between the layers of rocks inside the crust?
Aquifer.
