Pillow basalts are smooth, spherical rock formations that occur when lava and frigid seawater interact.

Lava is molten rock that emerges as a liquid from under the Earth's surface. The term "lava" is also used to describe the rock that is generated when molten lava cools and solidifies. Either the substance is exceedingly stiff and barely flows, or it might be incredibly fluid, flowing nearly like syrup. The viscosity of the lava increases with silica concentration.

Hawaiian terms pahoehoe and aa (or a'a) refer to flows formed by mafic lavas, such as basalt. Smooth, subtly undulating, or extensively hummocky surfaces define Pahoehoe lava flows. A thin, still-plastic crust is dragged and wrinkled into twisted rope-like folds and rolls by the flowing molten lava beneath it.

a fault is found that cuts through lower rock layers but not those above it. which can most likely be concluded?​
grin007 [14]

The fault is younger than the lower rocks but older those above it.

Explanation:

A fault found that cuts through lower rock layers but not those above it suggests that the fault is younger than the lower rock but older than those above it.

This interpretation is based on the principle of cross-cutting which states that "an intrusion or fault is younger than the rocks they cut through".

  • In essence, an intrusion or fault cannot cut through a rock sequence unless it is already in place.
  • This is why the fault that cuts through the rock layers is younger than the rock layers.
  • But since it did not pass through the layers above, it is older than it.
