These are known as cataclasites and form in the rockmasses in and around fault zones. If the clasts or fragments of differing rock types are large, then the cataclasite is termed a breccia.

Why are plant fossils found in amber are not usually found in volcanic rocks?

because they most likely came from different areas. so they didn't have the same type of climate. another possibility is that amber traps only small animals or insects it seems


What are three varieties of igneous metamorphic rock?

Igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of molten material, while metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rocks under heat and pressure. However, it seems there is a mix-up in terminology. Instead, I can provide examples of three types of igneous rocks: granite, basalt, and pumice. For metamorphic rocks, examples include schist, gneiss, and marble.

What is the main reason why the age of oldest rocks can vary from one part of a continent to another?

Many lands were underwater when others were rising from the sea. Islands and lands begin underwater and some lands are more recent. For example, the coast of Australia's rocks are younger than the rocks in the centre of Australia. all continets used to be conected called Pangaea so on the edge of one continet there may be something of the same on the opposite or parallel continet look at a picture of south America and i think Asia or russia and there will be a tiny space where it seems they used to be conected

What does sentimentery mean?

It seems like there might be a typo in your question. Did you mean "sedimentary"?

What forces on earth cause rocks to form?

Rocks are made up of a materials. They can also contain some sediments and the fossilized remains of plants ans animals. Rocks aren't very rare. In fact, the Earth is made up of about six sextillion tons of rock. There are many different rock types on Earth. They are the result of the different natural forces at work on this planet. Rocks are so varied in color, texture, and composition that it seems impossible to identify them. It seems even harder to unlock the secrets of how they originated and how they came to be where you found them! The study of rocks is called petrology. With some careful observation and study, you can learn to read a rock like a book. Rocks are the record of our planet's past. They tell us where rivers use to flow, where huge inland seas were located, and what lived in these waters. The Earth's rocks tell us stories of the glaciers and of how the Ice Age changed the planet. The combinations of temperature, pressure, and chemical interactions at work within the Earth and on the surface have produced this huge variety of rocks. All rocks, however, fall into one of the three basic groups: igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, or metamorphic rocks.


Why did raiden shout rose when he was crushed by outer haven?

It seems to show that in a life-threatening situation, as Raiden was about to be killed, Rose was the last thing on his mind, which really speaks of his feelings for her. This is also shown by the voice-over of Raiden and Rose's conversation about the time they first met that was played as Raiden was being crushed.

Why is the study of rock called geology?

Question is not stated properly. What it seems to be asking is the relationship between rocks and Geology. Rocks are basically what the Earth is made of...you have tiny tiny rocks....great big giant rocks....melted rock. Everything that is not water or air is rock and is therefore a part of the study of the Earth...that we call Geology.
