Substrate for Dwarf Baby Tears Just as fertile soil is required for garden plants, a similar nutrient-rich base is necessary in an aquarium. For dwarf baby tears, begin with an under-layer of aquarium clay covered by fine gravel. Can dwarf baby tears grow in sand? You can use sand ifRead More →
Start cutting the stone with a circular diamond blade saw, also known as masonry saw, slowly and patiently. … But a diamond-tip blade, which is actually a steel disc with welded-on diamond segments, is the most durable hand tool available. Apply only light pressure on the saw while cutting. HowRead More →
Most metamorphic rocks form deep below the Earth’s surface. These rocks are formed from either igneous or sedimentary rocks, making them a changed… What is metamorphic foliation and how does it form? Foliation forms when pressure squeezes the flat or elongate minerals within a rock so they become aligned. TheseRead More →
Cliffs are shaped through erosion and weathering . Soft rock erodes quickly and forms gentle sloping cliffs, whereas hard rock is more resistant and forms steep cliffs. … As the notch increases in size, the cliff becomes unstable and collapses, leading to the retreat of the cliff face. Why areRead More →
Yes, you can hike and see the views during the day. The venue does close several hours before the concert for preparation, but you can still access the parking lots and trails. over a year ago. They close the amphitheater around 2 pm the day of a concert. Is RedRead More →
Foliated (Banded) Metamorphic Rocks Rocks without distinct alternating bands of light and dark minerals are described a nonlayered, whereas rocks with alternating bands of dark and light minerals are described as layered. Layered is also referred to as gneissic foliation. Do foliated rocks have banding? Some foliated rocks are alsoRead More →
There are three main types of rocks: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Each of these rocks are formed by physical changes—such as melting, cooling, eroding, compacting, or deforming—that are part of the rock cycle. Sedimentary rocks are formed from pieces of other existing rock or organic material. How are rocks andRead More →

After compaction and cementation the sedimentary sequence has changed into a sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks like sandstone, shale and limestone differ from other rocks in that they: 1. Are formed from layers of sediment built up over many years. What are the 3 main sediment types? There are three typesRead More →
Prograde metamorphism involves the change of mineral assemblages (paragenesis) with increasing temperature and (usually) pressure conditions. These are solid state dehydration reactions, and involve the loss of volatiles such as water or carbon dioxide. Where does metamorphism take place? Dynamic metamorphism takes place anywhere that faulting occurs at depth inRead More →
