Do fibrous roots grow very deep in soil?
No, fibrous roots are shallow and spread out horizontally near the surface of the soil. They do not penetrate deep into the ground.
Can igneous rock be formed above or below ground?
Yes, igneous rocks can be formed both above and below the ground. When molten rock solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, it forms intrusive igneous rocks like granite. If molten rock reaches the Earth's surface and cools rapidly, it forms extrusive igneous rocks like basalt.
How do geologists classify igneous rock?
Geologists classify igneous rocks based on their mineral composition, texture (grain size and arrangement of crystals), and overall chemical composition. Igneous rocks are further categorized as intrusive (formed below the Earth's surface) or extrusive (formed on the Earth's surface) based on where they solidified.
What is a large hole in the ground that opens suddenly called?
A large hole in the ground that opens suddenly is called a sinkhole. Sinkholes are typically formed when underground water dissolves the rock beneath the surface, causing the ground to collapse.
How egneous rocks are formed?
Igneous rocks are types of rocks that are formed by fire. They can be formed in the ground from magma that gets trapped in air pockets. Above ground they can form when lava cools along the ground.
Which of these is formed from surface runoff that cannot penetrate the ground?
Surface runoff that cannot penetrate the ground forms streams, rivers, or lakes.
What climate factors do you think keep trees growing in tundra regions?
The tundra is characterized by having permafrost - the ground is frozen a few inches below the soil surface. Tree roots cannot penetrate this, and so they cannot grow there.

What forms where the water table intersects with the ground surface?
well's occurs when the water underground meets the surface
Water that doesn't soak into the ground or evaporate but instead flows over earth's surface?
This type of water is called surface runoff. It occurs when rainwater or snowmelt flows over the ground surface, unable to penetrate into the soil or evaporate. Surface runoff can accumulate in rivers, lakes, and oceans or contribute to flooding in urban areas.
Do fibrous roots grow very deep in soil?
No, fibrous roots are shallow and spread out horizontally near the surface of the soil. They do not penetrate deep into the ground.
Which wave type is formed when the waves reach the Earths surface?
Surface waves are formed when the waves reach the Earth's surface. These waves travel along the boundary between the Earth and the atmosphere, and they can cause both lateral and vertical movements of the ground.
What occurs as the earths surface is created to create a map?
lines appear on the ground. A map is a representaion of the ground, you cannot make more ground appear by drawing a map.
Can igneous rock be formed above or below ground?
Yes, igneous rocks can be formed both above and below the ground. When molten rock solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, it forms intrusive igneous rocks like granite. If molten rock reaches the Earth's surface and cools rapidly, it forms extrusive igneous rocks like basalt.
How can cave water from the surface create a cave?
Weak acids formed in rainwater seep into the ground , when they weather rock
Do both tundra and desert have very deep-rooted trees?
Trees usually cannot survive in the cold tundra as the ground is frozen solid a few inches below the surface and stays frozen even in summer. Roots cannot penetrate this frozen soil. In the desert, however, trees do not have that problem and area able to send their roots deep into the soil to find water.
Which type of rock is formed above the ground by lava?
The general type is extrusive igneous rock.
