Rocks

DESCRIPTION

Explore the fascinating world of rocks and minerals, including their formation, classification, and the geological processes that shape our Earth. Discover the three main types of rocks—igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic—and learn how weathering and erosion break down rocks into sediment. Dive into the science of fossils and the methods of relative dating. Understand the dynamics of earthquakes and volcanoes, including the transfer of energy and the measurement of seismic waves. A comprehensive overview for geology enthusiasts!

  5. Weathering & erosion • http://www.flagstaffshuttle.net/images/GC3.jpg Weathering: breaks rock down into sediment Erosion: moves sediment

  6. Fossils • Formed from organisms dying and their remains being buried by sediment. • (usually found in sedimentary rock)

  7. Relative Dating

  8. Comparing fossils in different areas • http://ses4u-smith.wikispaces.com/file/view/indexfoseg.jpg/221545338/indexfoseg.jpg

  9. Earthquakes • Measured by: • SEISMOGRAPH • 3 types of seismic waves • Primary, Secondary & Surface

  10. Earthquakes • ENERGY TRANSFER • SEISMIC WAVES  cause  MECHANICAL ENERGY

  11. Volcanoes • ENERGY TRANSFER • FLOWING MAGMA causes HEAT ENERGY & MECHANICAL ENERGY
