| 1. | As a process such as erosion strips the overlying rocks, granite expands.
|
| 2. | The core pushes upwards, deforming overlying rock to form a dome.
|
| 3. | They are under tremendous pressure because of the overlying rock material.
|
| 4. | The pressure changes deform the overlying rocks, possibly jarring certain faults into action.
|
| 5. | Since dense materials tend to sink into water, the overlying rock broke under the strain.
|
| 6. | The Diamond Springs Formation is conformable with the overlying rocks and consists predominantly of serpentinite, tremolite-talc-sills.
|
| 7. | They were created by uplift-associated pressure release and by the unloading of overlying rock via erosion.
|
| 8. | Eventually, the Solitario erupted, triggering a massive collapse of overlying rocks and creating a vast caldera.
|
| 9. | Over the next billion years, the now cooled granite was gradually exposed through erosion of overlying rocks.
|
| 10. | This process was so pronounced in The Grabens that the overlying rock collapsed into voids left by escaping salt.
