The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed from the hardening of molten rock?
marble |
|
igneous |
|
metamorphic |
|
sedimentary |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.
pushes above |
|
pushes under |
|
cancels out |
|
mixes with |
A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.
