What else can I help you with?
Are you more likely to see sedimentary rocks on the surface or deep in earth's crust?
Of all the rock on Earth's surface, 75% is sedimentary rock. But, sedimentary rock is only about 5% of the whole crust. Unlike igneous rock, which forms underground, sedimentary rock forms from materials at Earth's surface. Which this means that sedimentary rocks are more likely to be seen on the surface. Hope this helps :)
Is granite is a igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?
the granite melts into lava then cools becoming igneous. it erodes into sediment and then gets compressed into a sedimentary rock. the sedimentary rock becomes metamorphic with heat and pressure deep within Earth
You find a rock deep in the ocean that contains a fossil What kind of rock is this?
Sedimentary is found below the ocean floor or area with water
When was Inside Deep Throat released?
Inside Deep Throat was released on 02/11/2005.
How is the igneous rock changed to sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock goes deep in the Earth and reaches magma. It then melts and becomes part of the magma. Since the newly formed magma is less dense than the surrounding rock it is lighter than the surrounding rock and it goes up and cools. It then becomes an Igneous rock.
What things are found deep within the earth?
A surprising amount of water is found deep inside the earth. Some artesian wells are between 3,000 and 5,000 feet below the surface.
When magma cools deep inside earth?
When magma cools deep inside earth, igneous rockforms.
Where is the core in earth?
deep inside the earth
What is a metamorphic rock found deep inside earth and it is used as a fuel?
Coal is a metamorphic rock formed from ancient plant material that has been subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. It is found deep inside the Earth's crust and is commonly used as a fuel for electricity generation and heating.
Why is there no sedimentary rock deep in the earths crust?
Sedimentary rocks get transformed into metamorphic and eventually igneous rocks in deep earth's crust.
What are three common rock found on earth?
The three main types of rock found on Earth are called Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic. Igneous rocks are formed from the compression and hardening of minerals deep inside the Earth, at tremendous temperature and pressure- granite is a good example. Sedimentary rock is formed by mineral deposits compacting down on top of each other, layer upon layer, over millions of years- these deposits can be carried in rainwater or on the wind, and also be the remains of long dead and pulverised plant or animal matter. Sandstone is a good example of Sedimentary rock, and so is coal!! Metamorphic rock is formed when two or more different types of rock are melted under the tremendous temperatures deep inside the Earth, and then melded together under colossal pressure before hardening again. Marble is a good instance of Metamorphic rock.
Why there is no sedimentary rock deep in Earth's crust?
Below certain depths the heat and pressure will turn sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock.
There's no sedimentary rock deep in Earth's crust?
Below certain depths the heat and pressure will turn sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock.
Why there's no sedimentary rock deep in Earth's crust?
Below certain depths the heat and pressure will turn sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock.
Why would you not expect to find a metamorphic rock in the recesses of the earth?
You WOULD expect to find metamorphic rocks in the recesses (deep layers) of the Earth's crust. But not in the mantle or core. Metamorphic means changed - and rocks - either sedimentary or igneous - get changed by the heat and pressures found in the deep crust.
How are rocks related to earth science?
Because rocks are formed deep in the Earth, and sometimes by compressed sand other sedimentary material.
How might a sedimentary rock become an igneos rock?
IF the sedimentary rock is taken down deep into the earth in a subduction zone, it could melt and form lave.
