Why are sedimentary rocks only found on or close to Earth's surface?

Geography
1 answer:
tester [92]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Erosion breaks existing rocks and turns them into sediments. The sediments can be formed into rocks by the chemical reactions of dissolved seashells ( Calcium Carbonate.) This reaction can form sediments into rocks very quickly like the formation of concrete ( same chemical reaction). Erosion only happens on the earth's surface.  

As erosion only happens on the earth's surface, sedimentary rocks are only formed on the earth's surface.

In other words:

Sedimentary rocks only found on or close to Earth's surface because sedimentary rocks are made of materials deposited in layers at the Earth's surface.

How are east asia's coastal island and peninsula areas similar? how do they differ from inland areas?
Anestetic [448]
East Asia's coastal, island and peninsula area are similar as they lie on the Ring of Fire. Accordingly, every one of these territories has tremors and volcanoes. Be that as it may, they additionally have hot springs. These ranges are unique in relation to inland regions due to the elevation: the island is more tough and rocky than the beach front, island and promontory zones.

Why are Earth's continental plates continually in motion?
Ainat [17]

Answer:

C: Plates float on the liquid mantle located below the crust.

Explanation:

Plates at our planet’s surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth’s core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down. As the cooled material sinks down, it is warmed and rises again.

Scientists once thought that Earth’s plates just surfed on top of the mantle’s giant convection cells, but now scientists believe that plates help themselves move instead of just surfing along. Just like convection cells, plates have warmer, thinner parts that are more likely to rise, and colder, denser parts that are more likely to sink.
