🗑
|
||||
| Geologic Column | A sequence of rocks units and layers that supposedly extends through time from the earliest form rocks to the recently deposited mud, gravel, and sand
🗑
|

🗑
|
||||
| Lava Plateau | Resulting thick rock formation
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| Local Metamorphism | A relatively small
🗑
|
||||
| Regional Metamorphism | Metamorphism that occurred over large areas because of the heat and pressure from immense forces
🗑
