What may happen when ripples on a pond encounter a large rock in the water?
Ripples are waves. When waves encounter something the result can include reflection, refraction or diffraction. A rock is a very different medium from a ripple and so there is no transmission of the water wave into the rock, so no refraction. Waves will be reflected are at the rock surface and 'bounce' back. The reflected ripples will exhibit interference with the oncoming ripples. The last thing that happens is diffraction. In the process of bouncing off the rock, wave will also go around the rock. If the rock is not too big, the ripples will actually reform after the rock. (This is particularly obvious if the size of the rock is only a few times greater than the wavelength of the ripples.) One will observe both the reflected waves (which are also called scattered waves in this context) and the original wave. Of course, the ripple has to last long enough to clearly see this to happen, so the number of wavelengths in the ripple should add up to be a good deal larger than the rock size. Otherwise, if the rock is really large, the reflection is about all that will be observed.
Map symbol for a cave?
^ or a sideways cave is > or < depending on the direction it is orientated.
What is the mass of frozen rock and gas that has a tail pointing away from the sun is called?
It is a comet.
What is ripples of movement of molten rock?
What it sounds like you want is "P-Wave". See the link to check that this is what you intend. P- and S-waves represent different atomic interactions in materials. P-waves briefly compress neighboring atoms, after which they relax and transfer the energy to neighboring atoms. S-waves represent a brief shear motion between atoms, which relaxes and is passed on.
What does the following sentence mean. Soils were once rocks?
Earthen soil was originally rock. Over eons, erosion broke the rock down into granules.
What is it called when rock layers from folds or ripples?
When rock layers are deformed into folds or ripples, it is called deformation or folding. This can occur due to tectonic forces, such as compression or extension, causing the rocks to bend and deform.
Describe what happens when ripples on a pond encounter a large rock in the water?
When ripples encounter a large rock in a pond, some of the wave energy is reflected back, causing interference and creating new ripples that move in different directions. The rock acts as a barrier, changing the direction and shape of the waves as they spread out from the impact point. This can create patterns of interference and turbulence in the water around the rock.
What fossilized ripples tell about the conditions whene rocks formed?
The fossilized ripples tell us about the environmental conditions when the rock was formed

When you drop a rock into a pond the energy from the rock moves through the water in a rhythmic pattern called?
The pattern is known as: Concentric ripples.
How do ripples form in sedimentary rocks?
The ripples do not form in the rocks, they form in soft, sandy sediment usually in water. The sediments are preserved after they have been buried, de-watered and turned into rock.
When was the bombing in ripple rock?
Ripples are caused by the flow of fluid (liquid or gas) over sediment.

What sound made by a rock falling into water?
A rock falling into water produces a splash sound, followed by ripples and bubbles as it sinks below the surface.
Why would there be ripples?
Ripples can form on a surface when there is a disturbance in the water, such as wind or an object entering the water. This disturbance causes waves to propagate outwards in a circular pattern, creating ripples on the surface.
How is echo produce?
Imagine a pool of water. If you dropped a rock in the water you would cause ripples that would travel out evenly in all directions. When one of those ripples hits a wall, you can see that the ripple bounces off the wall. Sound works the same way. Sound is basically just ripples in the air (vibrations). When a sound vibration hits a wall it bounces back much like the ripples in water.
What causes waves in the rock layers?
depending on the rock. sedimentary rocks are formed under water and may have water wave ripples. metamorphic rock has been pressed into waves. igneous rocks flowed in waves
