Few Earth Science problems?
Central and western portions of NY are composed of relatively undisturbed, flat lying layers of sedimentary rock. Whereas, the eastern most portion of NY is a jumbled mix of rocks of various types, including a significant amount of metamorphic rock why?
What is a sill?
What type of rock would you expect to find forming a sill? Igneous/Metamorphic/Sedimentary
Is Basalt this type of rock? Yes/No
Tectonically what was happening to the east coast during the late Triassic and early Jurassic period? ( I think its rifting)
Is basalt the type of rock you would expect to find at this tectonic setting? Yes/No
Metamorphic rock is the transformation of an existing rock type, the protolith, in a process called metamorphism, which means “change in form”. The protolith is subjected to heat and pressure (temperatures greater than 150 to 200 °C and pressures of 1500 bars causing profound physical and/or chemical change. The protolith may be sedimentary rock, igneous rock or another older metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks make up a large part of the Earth’s crust and are classified by texture and by chemical and mineral assemblage (metamorphic facies). They may be formed simply by being deep beneath the Earth’s surface, subjected to high temperatures and the great pressure of the rock layers above it. They can form from tectonic processes such as continental collisions, which cause horizontal pressure, friction and distortion. They are also formed when rock is heated up by the intrusion of hot molten rock called magma from the Earth’s interior. The study of metamorphic rocks (now exposed at the Earth’s surface following erosion and uplift) provides us with information about the temperatures and pressures that occur at great depths within the Earth’s crust.

Volume With Time Calculations?
Hey guys…I have a question about Density with Time math problems…my teacher is kinda psycho, so these have to be perfect…there’s 10 of these questions, but they’re all set up the same…if you guys could show me how to set them up, I’d be very much obliged.
So,…”take the average density of basalt rock, 2.8 gm/cm^3, and convert mass to volume with time, How long would it take to fill a swimming pool/football stadium, whatever, if basalt were produced at;
10^2 kg/second.”
How do I combine the basalts density with the amount being produced with the volume of some object?
Thanks!
D = M / V
Volume = Mass / Density
Basalt density = 2.8 g/cm^3
If it is being produced at 10^2 kg sec then the volume is increasing by
10^2 kg per sec / .0028 kg / cm^3
= 35,714 cm^3 per second
