The mid-ocean ridges are elevated above the surrounding seafloor because Ridge rocks are hot and therefore of relatively less dense than adjacent cooler oceanic crust.
I hope this helps you! :)
A cliff is a rock exposure with a near vertical (or is vertical) facing. An escarpment is a long cliff, or steep slope. (causes faulting processes)
The igneous rocks are the basic material for the formation of the two other rocks types, the sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. These rocks are the first that form. They form from the magma that has cooled inside the crust, or by the lava flows on the surface. Over time, the weathering and erosion start to break them apart little by little, creating sediments from them. These sediments are the founding block for the formation of the sedimentary rocks. Once these sediments are exposed to certain temperatures and pressures they start to become compact again, which is made possible through the cementation process that keeps them together. As more and more sediments are merged together, the sedimentary rocks are formed, and they can come in multiple different types, sizes, shapes, as well as compositions, and structures.
The Guayas River flows through Guyaquil, which is the largest city in
Ecuador. However, it is not the capital city, which is Quito. The Guayas
River has it's name, because it flows through the Guayas province. The
Guayas River does not flow into any ocean or sea. Guayaquil is also the
most populated in Ecuador. The city underwent relatively recently an
"urban renegation" to attract more tourists to that particular region of
Ecuador. This was also to help boost the economy, since at the moment
it mostly consists of small and medium businesses, agriculture and
aquaculture.
