How does groundwater cause caves to form?
GeologyWorking slowly over many years, ground water travels along small cracks. The water dissolves and carries away the solid rock gradually enlarging the cracks, eventually forming a cave. Ground water carries the dissolved minerals in solution. The minerals may then be deposited, for example, as stalagmites or stalactites. How does groundwater cause landforms? Groundwater creates

What is the jigsaw fit theory?
GeologyThe east coast of South America and the west coast of Africa seem to fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, and Wegener discovered their rock layers “fit” just as clearly. South America and Africa were not the only continents with similar geology. Who gave jigsaw fit theory? A Wegener The jigsaw fit, one

What metamorphic rocks form from basalt?
GeologySlate (metamorphic) if put under more pressure could change into a schist. A basalt (igneous) could also become a schist. Limestone (sedimentary) can become marble. Metamorphic rocks record how temperature and pressure affected an area when it was forming. Can basalt turn into metamorphic rock? Intense heat or great pressure transforms basalt into its metamorphic

How are fossils preserved?
GeologyFossils are preserved by three main methods: unaltered soft or hard parts, altered hard parts, and trace fossils. You already learned about trace fossils in Chapter 4. Unaltered fossils are rare except as captured in amber, trapped in tar, dried out, or frozen as a preserved wooly mammoth. What are 5 ways fossils are preserved?

Can you use lava rock for drainage?
GeologyLava rocks are the ultimate drainage solution for your plant babies to prevent a heavy-handed watering. If you have an indoor planter without a drainage hole, placing lava rocks at the bottom of the planter can help prevent drowning your plants by creating a place for excess water to pool. What can lava rock be

How are columns formed in caves?
GeologyCave columns occur when stalactites and stalagmites fuse together. This column then grew a series of cave formations, or speleothems, known as “cave popcorn.” How do cave formations form? Caves are formed by the dissolution of limestone. Rainwater picks up carbon dioxide from the air and as it percolates through the soil, which turns into
