Where in Earth's crust would you find basalt?
Most basalt is found in the oceanic plates. Most granite is found in the continental plates.
Is silica the bedrock that makes up the bulk of the continents?
No. Silica is a compound found in many rocks. The rock that makes up the bulk of the continents is granite, which does contain quartz which is a form of silica.
Are granite found in Jamaica?

WHERE IS THE BEDROCK?
Assuming you are not referring to the 'Flintstones - town of Bedrock' and are referring to geological bedrock then any rock that is not part of the soil or an erosional clast (of any size) is bedrock. Bedrock is therefore found everywhere.
What is the layer of solid rock found under the soil?
The layer of solid rock found under the soil is called bedrock. Bedrock is composed of consolidated rock that forms the base of the Earth's crust and provides a strong foundation for the layers above it.
What does granite bedrock found on high on a mountain top indicate?
Granite bedrock found high on a mountain top indicates that this area may have been uplifted by tectonic forces, exposing the deep-seated granite. Granite is a hard, resistant rock that is typically found at great depths within the Earth's crust, suggesting significant geological processes have occurred to bring it to the surface.
Where in Earth's crust would you find basalt?
Most basalt is found in the oceanic plates. Most granite is found in the continental plates.
Which is the layer of solid rock that is found under all soil?
Bedrock. However you should realize that sometimes bedrock can be over a thousand feet below the soil. For example, on the coastal plains of the US, bedrock can be a few feet deep, or several thousand.
What is bedrock made of and what's a good description of it?
Bedrock is the first layer of solid rock underlying the soil, sand, loose glacial deposits, volcanic ash, or unlithified sediments. Depending on the specific location, the bedrock could be granite, basalt, limestone, sandstone, gneiss, or any other type of solid rock.
Is silica the bedrock that makes up the bulk of the continents?
No. Silica is a compound found in many rocks. The rock that makes up the bulk of the continents is granite, which does contain quartz which is a form of silica.

What are three types of bedrock found in the rocky shore ecosytem?
There is not a specific type of bedrock found along the rocky shores. The types of bedrock found depend on the ecosystem at the different rocky shore sites.
WHERE IS THE BEDROCK?
Assuming you are not referring to the 'Flintstones - town of Bedrock' and are referring to geological bedrock then any rock that is not part of the soil or an erosional clast (of any size) is bedrock. Bedrock is therefore found everywhere.
Is aquifer found below or above bedrock?
Aquifers are typically found below the bedrock. Bedrock acts as a barrier that holds the water in the aquifer, with layers of soil, sand, and gravel above the bedrock helping to recharge the aquifer with water.
What can the area where a rock was found tell you about the type of rock it might be?
If you find a piece of granite in an area where the local bedrock is sandstone, limestone or some other rock you could deduce that the granite was not local to the area but was probably either a glacial eratic or had been moved there by people. the same would apply to any rock which wasn't local to the area in which it was found.
Is granite commonly found?
Yes. granite is found everywhere, especially Texas
Can you use bedrock in a sentence?
yes example:I dug really deep and found the bedrock beneath the soil.
