Large scale folding of rocks during the process of mountain building is characteristic of?
Large scale folding of rocks during the process of mountain building is characteristic of regional metamorphic rock
What characteristic does large-scale folding of rocks during the process of mountain building have?
Large scale folding rocks are a characteristic of regional metamorphism. Regional metamorphism will occur during the process of building mountains.
What type of rock is formed during a mountain building event?
metamorphic
During the process of euthrophication what happens to the oxygen present in a lake?
Decreases
What is the responsible for the formation of exfoliation domes?
Granite forms plutonsof igneous rock several kilometers below the surface as magmaslowly cools and crystallizes. The granite is under great overhead pressure.Then, granite is uplifted to the surface during a mountain-building event. During the mountain building process, the overlying rock iseroded as the granite is uplifted, and the pressure on the granite reduced. The granite expands and forms fractures or sheet joints parallel to the surface. The granite then erodes in concentric layers (similar to how an onion peels) forming rounded masses called exfoliationdomes.
During the process of mountain from building?
Mountain formation refers to the geological processes that underlie the formation and metamorphism are all parts of the orogenic process of mountain building.

What type of rock is formed during a mountain building event?
metamorphic
What happens during a avalanche?
snow falls down the mountain
Why is foliation more likely to occur during mountain building than through the contact of rock with magma?
Foliation is more likely to occur during mountain building rather than through the contact of rock with magma because of the stress that is developed during mountain building. This refers to the action on a plane as the force applied per unit area of the plane.
How is isostatic adjustments involved in mountain building?
because isostasy, defored and thickened crust will undergo regional uplift both during mountain building for a long period afterward
What happens during avalanche?
Snow a falls down a the mountain!
What happens during the process of making pickles?
yumm
How does greese get in a potato?
That happens during the cooking process.
What happens during the process of solvation?
Dissolving
What metamorphism setting contains large scale folding of rocks during mountain building?
An avalanche
