There used to be an ocean there millions of years ago but then it dried up and there was a bunch of dead shellfish on the sea floor when the ocean dried up but as the years went on the tectonic plates pushed the ground into mountains and the dead (and now fossilized) shellfish got pushed up too, and that's why there are marine fossils at the top of a mountain in New York.

VikaD [51]
All layers are incredibly important. If we didn't, we would die very quickly and life would be inhabitable. The radiation from the son would kill us. The heat from the sun would dry up water and kill crops leaving us with no food/water.

1. Describe the most important diagnostic properties in igneous rocks.
azamat

1- The terrestrial lithosphere is composed almost of 80% by igneous rocks, they are also known as magmatic rocks and are formed at high temperatures due to magma solidification, they come from the superior mantle and terrestrial coast. Its texture is super resistant with significant hardness to obtain minerals and other derived materials. They can be divided into extrusive and intrusive.

2- Through experiments, Bowen has defined a sequence of mineral formation when a magma begins to cool. There are two types of magmatic differentiation defined by Bowen, the continuous series and the discontinuous series. In the continuous series the internal structure of the magma is not altered and all minerals have iron and magnesium, they are formed: aluminum, silica and sodium and calcium.

In the discontinuous series decreasing the temperature reacts the previously formed mineral with the existing liquid, and thus a new mineral with different internal structure and composition is formed. They are formed: olivine, pyroxena, amphibole and biotite.
