The law of superposition states that in undisturbed sedimentary rock layers, the oldest layers are at the bottom and the youngest are at the top. Subsurface events, such as tectonic activity or intrusion of magma, can disrupt this order by tilting, folding, or mixing layers. Above-surface events like erosion or sediment deposition can also alter the arrangement and visibility of these layers. Both types of events can complicate the interpretation of geological history and the relative ages of rock formations.
What else can I help you with?
What are bands of high speed wind high above Earth's surface that can affect weather?
The Jet Stream
What is another word for subsurface water?
A natural spring would be one, an artesian basin another, and underground streams (such as found in cave systems) another again. Possibly a water well would be the commonest example. The above only consider land based systems.
What are th two methods of extraction metals from the ore?
Mining techniques can be divided into two common excavation types: surface mining (above ground) and subsurface (underground) mining. sometimes subsurface mining is also called deep mining like in my text book p.s i am in 8th grade
What is the surface feature above a mantle plume called?
The surface feature above the mantle plume is known as the "hotspot".
How subsidence leads to a caldera?
Subsidence occurs when the ground collapses due to the removal of subsurface material (such as magma) or the collapse of a volcanic structure. This creates a void space under the surface, which can lead to a caldera forming when pressure builds up and causes an explosive eruption that further collapses the ground above. The resulting depression is known as a caldera.
What are the two types of runoff?
Surface runoff and Subsurface runoff. Basically, above ground and below ground
How does sunlght affect the desert?
Sunlight is absorbed by the surface of the desert and the surface is heated. The surface, in turn, heats the air above the desert.
What is the subsurface topography of the pacific ocean?
mountain ridges above geological plates
What type of nuclear detonation makes a crater in the Earth?
An underground nuclear detonation creates a crater in the Earth's surface. The explosion occurs beneath the ground, causing the soil and rock to be displaced upwards, resulting in a visible crater above the detonation point.
What are bands of high speed wind high above Earth's surface that can affect weather?
The Jet Stream
If the earths surface is cold what will happend to the earth above it?
If the Earth's surface is cold, it will lead to cooling of the air above it due to direct contact and heat transfer. The cold surface will cause the air above it to become cooler, which can affect weather patterns, lead to the formation of fog or dew, and impact temperature gradients in the atmosphere.
In general the law of superposition states that in an undeformed sequence of sedimentary rocks each layer is .?
older than the one above it
What is another word for subsurface water?
A natural spring would be one, an artesian basin another, and underground streams (such as found in cave systems) another again. Possibly a water well would be the commonest example. The above only consider land based systems.
What a opposite word of sky?
The opposite of "sky" can be considered "ground" or "earth," as they represent opposing realms—one above and one below. While "sky" refers to the expanse above us, "ground" denotes the solid surface we walk on. In a broader context, "sky" could also contrast with "underworld" or "subsurface," depending on the perspective.
How dies the friction between the ground and molecules in the air affect wind?
The wind at the surface of the ground where the molecules are having friction is moving slower than the wind above the surface.
How does atmospheric pressure affect you. How does atmospheric pressure change as you increase your distance above earth's surface?
I dont do science i am a more pe type
How does air above a cold surface?
how does air above cold surface move
