When did Kolka-Karmadon rock ice slide happen?
Kolka-Karmadon rock ice slide happened in 2002.
When rock layers break the resulting surface they break and slide on is a?
A Fault
What forms when the rock layers slip or slide along the crack?
A fault forms when rock layers slip or slide along a crack. This movement can create an earthquake if the stress becomes too great for the rocks to hold their position.
When rock layers break and resulting surface they break and slide on?
faults occur when this happens
How many layers do metamorphic layers have?
a metamorphic rock is a rock that has been changed from one rock to another by heat and/or pressure.....they amount of layers would depend on what kind of rock.....all rocks have a different amount of layers sorry
What forces make rock layers slide sideways?
Rock layers can slide sideways due to several geological forces, primarily driven by tectonic activity. Shear stress, resulting from tectonic plate movements, can create faults along which rock layers may slip. Additionally, gravitational forces acting on steep rock formations can contribute to lateral movement, especially in areas where the layers are weakened by weathering or other geological processes. Fluid pressure within the rock layers can also play a role, reducing friction and facilitating sliding.
What is another name for a dimple fold in rock layers?
A Syncline
What are formations that are sandwiched between layers of existing rock formations?
The formations that are sandwiched between layers of existing rock formations called sills. Another formation between layers is called laccoliths.
How do you determine which rock layers are older than other when looking many layers of rock piled on top of one another?
bope bop bope bpo
What is another type of boundary where rock layers fold to form moun?
convergent
How might a sedimentary rock become another sedimentary rock without first changing into another rock type?
A sedimentary rock can become another sedimentary rock through the process of diagenesis. This involves the compaction and cementation of existing sedimentary rocks to form a new rock without going through a different rock type. This can happen through the addition of more sediment layers or changes in environmental conditions.
What is called peeling away of outer rock layers?
The process of removing outer layers of rock is called exfoliation or weathering. This can happen due to expansion and contraction of rocks caused by temperature changes, leading to the outer layers peeling away.
