Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface?
The forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface are not the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface because the processes of the rock cycle beneath the earth surface and above the earth surface are diffferent.
How does metamorphic rock get pushed to the surface?
Metamorphic rocks can be pushed to the surface through tectonic processes such as mountain-building events, where intense pressure and heat from deep within the Earth cause rocks to be uplifted and exposed at the surface. Erosion can also play a role in uncovering metamorphic rocks that were once buried deep beneath the Earth's surface.
How does a uplift to the Earth's surface make sedimentary rock?
When uplift occurs, rocks buried deep underground are brought to the Earth's surface. These rocks contain sediments such as sand, mud, and minerals that undergo compaction and cementation due to pressure and natural processes. Over time, these sediments form layers that solidify into sedimentary rock.
What name is given to molten rock on the surface of the earth?
Molten rock on the surface of the Earth is called lava.
What is molten rock that reaches the Earth's surface?
Magma that reaches the surface it is called lava.Molten rock from the Earth's interior that breaks through to the surface is called lava
Crustal rock is uplifted by the intrusion of an igneous mass?
When an igneous mass intrudes into crustal rocks, it creates a force that uplifts the surrounding rock due to the expansion of the magma as it cools and solidifies. This process can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, as the uplifted rocks are pushed towards the surface. Over time, erosion may expose these rocks at the Earth's surface.
Is intrusive igneous rock such as granite date from when it cools deep within the Earth's crust or is the date given as when the rock is uplifted through the Earth's crust?
It is dated from the time it solidifies as rock.
Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface?
The forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface are not the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface because the processes of the rock cycle beneath the earth surface and above the earth surface are diffferent.
What happens to rock along converging boundaries?
It is folded and uplifted, or subducted into the mantle, depending on the type of convergent boundary.
The earth's surface is what on molten rock?
Molten rock on the Earth's surface is called lava.

What rock can be formed uplifted metamorphic rock?
Dick
How is magma different from rocks on Earth's surface?
Magma is under the surface of Earth's crust. Rocks on earth's surface are well ... on Earth's surface. Magma is also molten rock, not solid rock like the rocks on earth's surface.
When was sedimentary rock uplifted?
1233
What is the term for melted rock under Earth's surface?
'Magma' is melted rock occurring under the Earth's surface. When it comes up and flows out on the Earth's surface it is called 'lava'.
What is the surface of the earth made of?
rock rock
