Cross-bedding is commonly found in - ️️sandstone If a body of magma is subjected to fractional crystallization by cooling, the rock that forms is expected to be ________, in comparison to the residual magma. - ️️more mafic than the magma Igneous rocks ________ - ️️are formed through the freezing of melt can be produced at the surface of the Earth as well as deep below the surface are the most common types of rocks within the Earth In the illustration, the red line represents wha...

what is uniformitarianism? - ️️the present is the key to the past - the processes that are going on today to shape the Earth are the same processes that have always been going on (James Hutton) what is steno's law state? - ️️the angles between equivalent crystal faces of the same mineral are always the same what is streak? - ️️the color of the mineral in powdered form what is the asthenosphere? - ️️weak layer of the mantle beneath the lithosphere, deforms to accommodate the...

Cooler, older, oceanic lithosphere sinks into the mantle at ______ . - ️️subduction zones along convergent plate boundaries Correct statements - ️️1. Magmas crystallize to form igneous rocks. 2. Igneous rocks can undergo metamorphism. 3. Metamorphic rocks may melt to become magma. 4. Igneous rocks may undergo weathering and produce sediments. Diorite - ️️Texture: Phaneritic Composition: Intermediate Gabbro - ️️Texture: Phanertic Composition: Mafic Garnet Mg3Al2(SiO4)3 - ...

What type of boundary creates huge mountain ranges such as the Himalayas? - ️️continent-continent convergent boundary What type of boundary creates volcanoes? - ️️Ocean-Ocean Convergent Boundary What type of boundary is the San Andreas Fault? - ️️transform boundary What type of earthquakes at transform boundary? - ️️shallow earthquakes What type of plate boundary do we live on here in the PNW? - ️️ocean-continent convergent Where are fossils usually found - ️️Limesto...

How do magmas evolve? - ️️crystal settling: earlier-formed minerals are denser than the liquid portion of the magma and sink to the base of the magma chamber magmatic differentiation: the formation of one or more secondary magmas from a single parent magma assimilation: as magma migrates through the crust, it may incorporate some of the surrounding rock magma mixing: during the ascent of 2 chemically different magma bodies, the more buoyant mass may overtake the slower-rising bo...

What is Fractional crystallization? - ️️The separation of crystals and melt that causes residual magma to progressively change its composition. What is glassy texture? Examples? - ️️Produced by very rapid cooling, no obvious grains. Ex: Obsidian What is graded bedding? - ️️When there is a change in grain size, decreasing grain size upwards. What is half-life in relation to radioactive decay? - ️️How long it takes for half the nucleus to decay. What is it called when a min...

What type of chemical weathering causes rocks to turn "rust" in color? Why is this relevant to banded iron formations? - ️️oxidation oxygen combines with iron to form iron oxide; process is slow in dry environments; water increases the speed of the reaction Iron oxides add rust color What is hydrolysis & what silicate mineral does it produce? - ️️hydrolysis the reaction of any substance with water; a hydrogen ion attacks and replaces another ion; silicates primarily decompose b...
