What are three layers of soil in earth's crust?
they are called the 3 horizons Horizon A : topsoil Horizon B : subsoil Horizon C : weathered bedrock
Why is the sedimentary rock layer at the bottom of a canyon older then a sedimentary rock layer at the top of a canyon?
As a rule, the oldest rocks of layered rock strata are always at the bottom, the youngest at the top. The rock at the bottom was the first to form. Layers of weathered and eroded particles (sediments) or igneous material in the form of lava, add additional weight over time, which causes the mass to sink and compress, forming new rock layers. When running water erodes a canyon, the geologic history of the land is revealed in the rock layers.
What is the type of rock made from layers of rock and other materials that are cemented together?
That'd be a conglomerate rock. They are formed by either compacting, or cementing of weathered rocks.
Why does topography only exist in some geographical locations?
most regions do not have limestone under the soil Most regions have rock layers other than limestone
Why are sedimentary rocks formed in layers?
Sedimentation of transported weathered and eroded material is continuous, cyclical, or event based. New sediments are deposited on top of existing sediments, forming layers that may be visible in a sedimentary rock body.
What is formed from layers of tiny particles from weathered rocks?
Detrital sedimentary layers.

What are all the layers that make up the soil in an area?
The layers of soil in an area are the topsoil, subsoil, weathered rock and bedrock.
When rock is weathered and later pressed into layers what kind of rock is formed?
sedimentary
Is the Grand Canyon mountains?
the grand canyon is layers of rock formed over millions of years
Are igneous rocks made when layers of weathered rocks or soil is compacted?
No that is a metamorphic rock
What is the process for making wood look weathered?
The process of making wood look weathered can be done by using an abrasive brush to scuff the surface of the wood giving it an aged and weathered look. Then layers of stain should be applied to the wood in order to give it that weathered color.
Why the grand canyon is so important?
The Grand Canyon is important for the study of geology. The Grand Canyon clearly shows the layers of the Earths crust.
What happened to the missing layers of the grand canyon?
Washed downstream.
In the grand canyon the oldest fossil's are found?
in the lowest layers of rock
In the grand canyon the oldest fossils are found?

Which process formed the rock layers in the canyon wall?
erosion by water
