How is rock salt separated industrially?
Rock salt is mined as a solid in salt mines. it does not need to be separated.
How is a index fossil like a key bed?
Correlation by Fossils (index fossils) - Matching rock units of similar age on a large scale by using index (or guide) fossils (fossils that were widespread geographically and lived only a short time). Allows widely separated rocks of different composition to be correlated. Overlapping time ranges of several sets of index fossils are typically used.
What is the process of matching rock layers in two different places?
correlation
What is two sedimentary rock layers separated by an erosional surface?
Disconformity
Which of the following provided evidence at first for the hypothesis of continental drift and layer for the theory of plate tectonics?
indicators of climate change matching rock types matching fossil remains go do some study island....
Are Correlation of rock units between continents or widely separated areas accomplished by using physical features such as color or texture and thickness?
false

Matching what on different continents are evidence for continental drift?
Rock Structures
How can minerals be separated from the rock which they are part?
by using water
What does rock layer means?
Actually its the matching up of rocks of the same age from place to place is called correlation of the rock layers.
What is a place in the rock record where two rock units are separated by an erosional surface?
An Unconformity is an erosional or non-depositional surface that separates rocks of two different ages. This is represented by missing sediments in the stratigraphic column. If the time period represented by the missing sediments is small, the unconformity is called a diastem.
What is the name of the process that matches up rock's of similar ages in different regions?
Stratigraphic matching
What is the name of the process that matches up rock of similar ages in different regions?
Stratigraphic matching
What are the three types of rock that form mount Everest?
Geologists have subdivided the rocks comprising Mount Everest into three units called "formations". Each formation is separated from the other by low-angle faults, called "detachments", along which they have been thrust over each other. From the summit of Mount Everest to its base these rock units are the Qomolangma Formation, the North Col Formation, and the Rongbuk Formation.
What is two sedimentary rock layers separated by an erosional surface?
