Within the earth what happens to the rock when it is exposed to very high temperatures?
it melts.
What else can I help you with?
What is a movement within the earth that causes buried rock to be exposed at the earth's surface called?
The movement within the Earth that causes buried rock to be exposed at the Earth's surface is called uplift. It refers to the vertical elevation of the Earth's surface.
How much of earth is exposed to sunlight?
At any given time, half (50%) of Earth is exposed to sunlight.
Can Plutons be studied on Earth's surface as they form?
No, plutons are formed deep within the Earth's crust under high pressure and temperature conditions. They are typically not exposed at the surface during their formation. Geologists study plutons after they have been uplifted and exposed by erosion or tectonic processes.
In which environment would mineral formation caused by high pressures and high temperatures most likely occur?
deep within earth
What happens when part of earth faces the sun?
When part of the Earth faces the sun, it experiences daylight and warmth due to direct sunlight. This exposure causes temperatures to rise and facilitates photosynthesis in plants, supporting life. Conversely, the side of the Earth that faces away from the sun experiences nighttime and cooler temperatures. This cycle of day and night is a result of the Earth's rotation on its axis.
What is the Movement within the earth that cause buried rock to be exposed at the earths surface?
The movement within the Earth that causes buried rock to be exposed at the Earth's surface is called uplift. It refers to the vertical elevation of the Earth's surface.
What happens to te earth worm when it is exposed to light?
It explodes. Only joking :) Nothing visible happens to it that we know of
If the ozone layer becomes thinner what happens?
Earth is exposed to the dangerous radiation of the sun.
What is a movement within the earth that causes buried rock to be exposed at the earth's surface called?
The movement within the Earth that causes buried rock to be exposed at the Earth's surface is called uplift. It refers to the vertical elevation of the Earth's surface.
What happens to the pressure as you increase depth within the earth?
increases
What happens within the Sun-Earth system to create seasons?
Because of the Earth's tilt and stuff.
What affects temperatures on earth?
Its the latitude that affects the temperatures on the earth
Would temperatures rise to the highest if the sun came within only 500 miles of the Earth's surface?
Yes it would.
Why is the iron core of the Earth solid?
The iron core of the Earth is solid because of the immense pressure and high temperatures deep within the planet, which prevent the iron from melting.
How much of earth is exposed to sunlight?
At any given time, half (50%) of Earth is exposed to sunlight.
What happens to temperatures as the angle at which the sun's rays strike Earth's surface become more direct and as the angle becomes less direct?
More direct sunlight produces higher temperatures, and less direct sunlight produces lower temperatures.
In which environment would mineral formation caused by high pressures and high temperatures most likely occur?
deep within earth
