Geologists look at rocks that were once at great depth, create high temperature and pressure conditions for rocks in the laboratory, and develop computer models in order to:

A) investigate deep conditions and processes within the Earth
B) determine how sedimentary processes work at the surface
C) predict patterns for stream channels cutting through loose sediment
D) show how volcanic ash will behave in the atmosphere

Deep Conditions

Refers to the environment conditions such as high pressure and temperature found in the Earth's interior or deep underwater.

Laboratory

A controlled environment where scientific research, experiments, and measurement can be conducted.

Computer Models

Simulations created on computers to mimic or predict complex real-world phenomena, widely used in various scientific disciplines, including weather forecasting, climate change studies, and engineering.
