What clues tells geologists how extrusions are formed?
I am learning about this in my Science class, and when a geologist looks at an extrusion, they know it's an extrusion because it is Igneous rock, and an extrusion helps tell the reletive ages of the layers around it.
Why are index useful to geologists?
they tell the absoute age of rcoks which they occur
How can a rock composition help geologists to classify the rock?
tell me the answer I'm the one asked it
Is the devils tower a volcano?
It was a Stratovolcano, but the magma filled and cooled over a period of time and it hardend. The exterior eroded away and exposed the cooled magma, which is now today Devils Tower. It is classified as Extinct.
What do faults tell geologists about the relative ages of rock?
A fault must be younger than the rock it cuts through.
What clues does extrusion tell geologists?
Geologists study where intrusion and extrusion formed in relation to other rock layers. This helps geologists understand the relative ages of the different types of rock! Hope it helps;)😊
What clues tell geologists about a fault?
ummm....?
What clues tell geologists?
Give relative ages of rocks. This is not the only clue to this question
What clues of extrusion tell geologists?
Geologists can identify extrusion by looking for volcanic features such as lava flows, ash deposits, and volcanic cones. The presence of volcanic rocks, such as basalt or rhyolite, can also indicate past volcanic activity associated with extrusion. Additionally, geologists may identify extrusion sites by studying the topography and landforms created by lava spreading over the surface.

How does intrusion forrm
What clue tells geologists intrusion?
A clue that tells geologists about an intrusion is the relationship between the rock layers. An intrusion is younger than the surrounding rocks it cuts through, so if the intrusion appears to cut across existing layers, it is likely an intrusion. Additionally, the mineral composition and texture of the intrusion can differ from the surrounding rocks, providing further evidence of an intrusion.
Can geologists use radioactive dating to find the absolute ages of extrusion or the intrusion?
yes they can they did it with aborinies
What are two things geologists study about earth?
Two things geologists study is the process that creates Earth's features and search for clues about Earth's history
Can geologists use radioactive dating to find the absolute ages of extrusion and intrusion?
Yes, geologists can use radioactive dating to determine the absolute ages of extrusion (e.g., volcanic rock deposited on the Earth's surface) and intrusion (e.g., molten rock that has moved into existing rock formations). By analyzing the decay of radioactive isotopes within the rocks, geologists can calculate the age of these geological events.
Sometimes metamorphic rock is found adjacent to an igneous intrusion as shown in the drawing According to geologists what causes this phenomenon?
Metamorphic rocks found adjacent to an igneous intrusion occur due to the heat and pressure generated by the intrusion. The high temperatures from the magma cause the original rock to metamorphose, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks near the boundary of the intrusion.
What clues tells geologists how extrusions are formed?

What do an intrusion and an extrusion tell us about the rock layers?
(Intrusion) You can learn how old the rock layers are around it. the rock layers around under and all around the intrusion are always older than the intrusion itself. (EXTRUSION) the layers of rock bellow the extrusion is older than the extrusion.
