How is plagioclase feldspar different from orthoclase feldspar?
Regional SpecificsNote that the plagioclase differs from the orthoclase in terms of the additional metals, plagioclase having calcium or sodium and orthoclase having potassium. The feldspars have similar physical properties and typically have a luster ranging from glassy to pearly. What is the difference between plagioclase and orthoclase feldspar? The key difference between orthoclase and plagioclase
What spheres interact with tsunamis?
Natural EnvironmentsTsunamis are giant waves in the ocean (hydrosphere), triggered by earthquakes (a primary force in the lithosphere), and have deadly consequences on coastal communities (the biosphere). How do tsunamis impact the 4 spheres? Impact on the atmosphere: Tsunamis destroy many things when they come through towns or cities, they can cause a lot of damage.
What does deposition science mean?
Regional SpecificsDeposition is the laying down of sediment carried by wind, flowing water, the sea or ice. Sediment can be transported as pebbles, sand and mud, or as salts dissolved in water. Salts may later be deposited by organic activity (e.g. as sea shells) or by evaporation. What is an example of deposition in science? The
Why is Earth’s crust broken into pieces?
Regional SpecificsAnswer and Explanation: The Earth is broken into plates to allow recycling materials amid the crust and the mantle. Earth crust and the top part of the mantle are broken into enormous pieces known as tectonic plates. Why is the crust broken into pieces? Because large convection cells of hot magma in the mantel keep
How are continental glaciers different from Valley?
Regional SpecificsValley glaciers can flow in all directions as they move, while continental glaciers move down slopes already cut by rivers. Valley glaciers cover much of a continent, while continental glaciers cover a small area of mountains. Continental glaciers are long and narrow, while valley glaciers are wider in size. How are valley glaciers different from
Where can igneous rocks be found?
Regional SpecificsIgneous rocks form when magma (molten rock) cools and crystallizes, either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is still inside the crust. All magma develops underground, in the lower crust or upper mantle, because of the intense heat there. Where can you find igneous rocks? Where Igneous Rocks
