What forms when magma flows horizontally along rock layers?
When magma flows horizontally along rock layers, it can form a feature called a sill. Sills are tabular igneous intrusions that are parallel to the surrounding rock layers. They are typically formed when magma is injected between existing rock layers and cools and solidifies underground.
What is the water that collects underground is called?
Groundwater
A rock that can yield a significant amount of water?
A rock that can yield a significant amount of water is called an aquifer. Aquifers are underground layers of rock or sediment that can hold and transmit water. They are important sources of fresh water for drinking, irrigation, and other uses.
What is a fold in which the youngest rock layers are in the center of the fold called?
A fold where the youngest rock layers are in the center is called an anticline. In an anticline, the rock layers are folded upwards, creating a convex shape with the oldest layers on the outside and the youngest layers in the center.
What are the layers of sandstone called?
The layers of any sedimentary rock are called strata.
What is water called that fills in cracks and spaces underground soil and rock layers called?
Groundwater is the term used to describe water that fills in cracks and spaces within underground soil and rock layers.
What is underground water found in layers of rock and sand called?
An aquifer Hope that helps!!!
Does a dike form when magma forces itself between rock layers and hardens?
Yes, a dike forms when magma intrudes into existing rock layers and solidifies. As the magma cools and solidifies underground, it creates a vertical or near-vertical sheet-like body of igneous rock that cuts across the existing rock layers.
The underground water that fills openings in soil and cracks in layers of rock is called?
The underground water that fills opening in soil and cracks in layers of rocks is called ground water.
What is the underground water that fills openings in soil and cracks in layers of rock?
The underground water that fills opening in soil and cracks in layers of rocks is called ground water.
What is the layers of rock around a volcano called?
The layers of rock form a dome called a laccolith
Underground water found in layers of rock and sand?
insular
Bend in rock layers created by pressure?
A bend in rock layers created by pressure is called folding. It refers to a ductile behavior in which planar or flat layers of rock bend in response to stress.
What are aquifers made of?
Aquifers are underground layers of rock or sediment that hold water. They can be made of various materials such as sand, gravel, or porous rock that allow water to pass through and be stored underground.
What is the called in which sedimentary rock rock are arranged in layers?
stratification
Water held underground in rock and sediment layers?
Groundwater is water that is stored underground in the pores of rock and sediment layers. It fills the spaces between particles of soil, sand, and gravel and flows through underground formations called aquifers. Groundwater is a vital natural resource that supplies drinking water to many communities worldwide.
How does water move through underground layers of soil and rock and how do people obtain it from an aquifer?
In the same way, water underground trickles down between particles of soil and through cracks and spaces in layers of rock. People can obtain groundwater from an aquifer by drilling a well below the water table.
