Sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks can each have a distinctive appearance in the landscape, often allowing us to recogn
ize these rocks from a distance. Classify the following description of a landscape to the rock type exposed at the surface. Sandstone or Shale, or Limestone or Igneous rocks or Metamorphic rocks
As the sedimentary and igneous and metamorphic rocks are distinct from each other as they appear on the landscape but show similar internal properties and thus allowing us to recognize them from a distance.
<u>Sedimentary Rocks range from shake sandstone to limestone and conglomerate. While Metamorphic i.e foliated being Slate, Phyllite, Schist, and Gneiss, etc. While the Nonfoliated Metamorphic rocks are Quartzite and Marble</u>.
Rocks revolve in there set rock cycle forming distinctive and newer rocks over the geologic time scale of earth. As each rock type is altered with force to produce the fro example a basalt rock when subducted and could be merged with the mantel to form in the water cycle.
As these are called secondary changes in the evolutionary phases of rocks which then can<u> transition into metamorphic rocks through the process of mountain building in the orographic belt</u>s.
As a result, other rocks are recrystallized to form a sedimentary rock in its next phase which is unstable and subject to weathering. Transitions deeply impact the chemical and physical properties of rocks.
It can be like it is as we are further away from the equator and quite close to the Arctic circle. Have a look at the pic I have sent. It is of the Arctic circle. Hope this helped let me know.
Today, Armenia is located in the Western Asia, between Iran on the south, Azerbaijan on the east, Georgia on the north and Turkey on the West. Armenia was a former Soviet state and later on got their independence from Russia.
Density is one of the most factors that play a key role in plate tectonic activities. Some of the ways in which density is important in the field of plate tectonics are as follows-
The convergent plate boundaries are responsible for the creation of a subduction zone, where the high-density lithospheric plate subducts below the less dense one. It is because the heavier plate is comprised of heavy minerals thereby forming heavier rocks as a result of which its density increases. Due to these differences in density, there occurs a subduction zone.
The divergent plate boundary forms where two plates move away from one another. This type of plate motion is responsible for the eruption of magma on the seafloor. As the plates diverge, the lithosphere becomes eventually thin, and with more progressive spreading, the magma comes out to the seafloor. This is because the hot magma is less dense, and forms convection cells as they rise upward. This is how the density helps in the upwelling of magma at the mid-oceanic ridge in a divergent plate boundary.
When there collide two plates of equal densities, then it gives rise to the formation of huge mountains, because neither of them is heavy to get sink. So it uplifts the crust, forming a sandwich-type pattern.
