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.

pochemuha

Answer:

Yes, it does.

Explanation:

All of the continents that are seperate today were in the form of a single giant continent up until approximately 175 million years ago.

They drifted apart in time because of the molten lava that is constantly flowing right underneath the earth's hardened shell. Also, archeological discoveries that indicate the same species of animals/plants lived on different continents such as Europe and America long before humans or intercontinental travel were around.

I hope this answer helps.

Answer:

Eolian sedimentary environment

Explanation:

Winds can transport many different-sized particles of material from the ground through the process of erosion. These particles might travel many kilometers until they deposit somewhere. Regions with scarce vegetation have too much dust and grain-sized particles that move and crush each other, increasing erosion. This process is known as eolic erosion.

The most prominent accumulations of wind deposits are the dunes. However, there are other smaller accumulations such as the ripples and other larger ones called Draas. Their main differences are in addition to size, is the wavelength between them.

Dunes are winds deposits, formations that are, in general, typical of deserts. Dunes are orientated according to the direction and speed of winds, to the presence of loose material, and vegetation. Strong winds transport material until it collides with an object or obstacle where it is deposited, originating a new dune.

Dunes are very dynamic formations that are constantly being remodeled by the direction and strength of the winds. Dunes always have a soft slope and a sharp one. The soft slope is directed to the area or region where the wind is coming from and is the product of the wind erosion on the same dune. The opposite sharp slope is protected from the wind and is the deposition place, where the wind losses strength and the carrying material falls, depositing in this side of the dune.

Sinkiang is a desert in China. Placing yourself at 39 05 52.46N 84 30 56.16E lets you appreciate the duned shape of the ground. By zooming in and out, you can notice the soft and sharp slopes that are forming each of the dunes and the distance between them.
