As streams flow through Stone Mountain, layers of sand build up. Over time, the sand particles form a sedimentary rock called sa

ndstone. What causes sandstone to change into metamorphic rock at Stone Mountain? Sandstone is reshaped by erosion from a stream. Sandstone builds up layers of sand at the mountain. Sandstone experiences intense heat and pressure. Sandstone has more sand particles compacted on top of it.

<u>Answer:</u>

The reason that causes the sandstone to turn into a metamorphic rock is that it experiences extreme heat and pressure.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • When the process of sedimentation occurs due to the accumulation of sand for a "long period of time", the layers that were once at the top get buried deep under the overlaying layers of sand.
  • This initially results in the sedimentary rocks formation at the bottom of this accumulation.
  • Over time, the sedimentary rock at the bottom is subjected to extreme pressure and heat from above.
  • The action of extreme pressure and heat on the sedimentary rock converts it into a metamorphic rock.

adell [148]
<span>Magma that squeezes into a horizontal crack is called a sill. Magma that squeezes into a vertical crack is called a dike. Both are considered to be rock intrusions wherein magma seeps into the cracks of old sedimentary rock formations. The difference is that sills are tubular and horizontal in nature, while dikes are vertical in nature.</span>

describe how paleomagnetic evidence supports the theory that continents change position (drift) over time.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

At constructive margins such the mid oceanic ridge where new magma are brought to the surface, evidences abounds to support the theory of continental drift through paleomaganetism.

Continental drift is simply the moving of the land masses on earth from their original positions.

There are certain magnetic minerals in rocks that are able to record the prevailing magnetic conditions in a particular terrane. In a hot magma, at the oceanic ridge for example, these minerals align to the magnetic direction at work during the period when they are cooling. As new materials upwells, the cool layer shifts away from the margin each bearing the paleomagnetic record.

Therefore, through a series of reversals and normality in the magnetic direction, one can deduce that the continents actually moves.
