The article was cool because I got to see some pictures about to help me enjoy the article even more. Near the end of the assignment I went on the Plate Motion Simulation. During my experience with that Simulation I got to look at how the plates come together or split apart from each other.

I mean, you can't really look at one. Y'know... since it barely moves at normal time.]]> 2023-03-24 18:54:11 UTC https://padlet.com/goldegp/2zvtkn1dp71q4v5g/wish/2530826361 https://padlet.com/goldegp/2zvtkn1dp71q4v5g/wish/2530827536 In the Amplify article I learned that there is a Very Very special and rare rock that is around 3.8 billion years old to 4.3 billion years old. and The Simulation showed you what would happen over the years if the continents were to drift, break apart and drift into eachother.

Seeing the diagrams really helped me see the process. It showed me that tectonic plates move under or over each other. It can also make new land or at least help make new land. It also shows me that it takes millions of years to happen so I won't notice it. That is what that article has taught me.]]> 2023-03-24 19:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/goldegp/2zvtkn1dp71q4v5g/wish/2530831328 cyrek1732977 https://padlet.com/goldegp/2zvtkn1dp71q4v5g/wish/2530831692 So, the simulation in the homework section shows two plates colliding and one plate going over the other. They pushed each other and the one on the bottom was pushed further down. This shows how rock formations move. One rock formation is particular is the Nuvvuagittiuq Greenstone Belt. They were subducted into the ocean via a subduction zone and became metamorphic rock. Over time, the layers built up on it weathered away and it came back up from the ground. I found this really interesting. Also, there is a mystery behind how the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains have the same rock formations. This can be explained by the sim stated above in the text. My partner and I discussed a lot of things about the article and questions. We talked about Nuvvuagittiaq, the simulation, the student paper about the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains, and why the plates colliding in the sim showed how rock formations moved. This is overall a good lesson.

The article told me about different rocks and even showed pictures! This even told me how and when they were formed! Toward the end of the assignment, it will allow you to look at how the plates come together or split apart from each other. This was cool as it gave you deeper and more extract information about the rocks.]]> 2023-03-24 19:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/goldegp/2zvtkn1dp71q4v5g/wish/2530832392 https://padlet.com/goldegp/2zvtkn1dp71q4v5g/wish/2530833124 The article I read was about how rocks change over time.

I learned that if an igneous or sedimentary rock goes through heat and pressure, it becomes metamorphic pressure.

Uplift and subduction also play a part in which if the rock rises or sinks.]]> 2023-03-24 19:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/goldegp/2zvtkn1dp71q4v5g/wish/2530833124 tiaura1414838 https://padlet.com/goldegp/2zvtkn1dp71q4v5g/wish/2530833841 Today's Amplify was about rock formations from the past. One of those is the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt. The Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt is a large group of rock formations. These rock formations are located in Quebec, Canada. This Greenstone is one of the oldest groups of rock formations on Earth. It is between 3.8 to 4.3 billion years old. The Nuvvuagittuq was made of sedimentary and igneous rock when it formed on Earth's surface. However, now it is made of metamorphic rock.]]> 2023-03-24 19:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/goldegp/2zvtkn1dp71q4v5g/wish/2530833841 https://padlet.com/goldegp/2zvtkn1dp71q4v5g/wish/2530834543 The rock formation is important because it shows many things as an example would be, The Nuvvuagittuq which is one of the oldest rock groups. It is around 3.8-4.3 billion years old. The Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt was formed at Earth's surface. It was made up of sedimentary and igneous rock, but over time has made it evolved into a metamorphic rock. To see rock change you have to be around for a long time. The rock can change from one stage to another and it takes years. There are three main rock types they are formed as ingenious is made up of liquid magma when it cools down. Sediment rock is made of compaction and cementation and is called sedimentary rock. The last rock type is the rock is a metamorphic rock when it is heated underground under deep pressure. Plate motion is also important because the movement causes folded mountains to uplift.]]> 2023-03-24 19:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/goldegp/2zvtkn1dp71q4v5g/wish/2530834543 https://padlet.com/goldegp/2zvtkn1dp71q4v5g/wish/2530836026 In this amplify article we read today we learned that Nuvvuagittuq which is a special rock that is as old as basically the whole earth itself. When it was formed it was made of sedimentary and igneous rock but as of right now it is made of metamorphic rock. All of the rock formations from when it was formed have all been compact and have stayed together for billions of years so researchers can still carefully ex-amen this rock. But this rock i still live and long to this which is interesting to think about knowing it was here when the earth was made.]]> 2023-03-24 19:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/goldegp/2zvtkn1dp71q4v5g/wish/2530836026 https://padlet.com/goldegp/2zvtkn1dp71q4v5g/wish/2531447539 The article was about a group of rock formations named the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt located in Quebec, Canada. The Greenstone Belt is one of Earth's oldest groups of rocks formation. It is measured to be 3.8 billion and 4.3 billion years old. The Belt was made up of sedimentary and igneous rocks when it formed. It is now only made of Metamorphic rock.  The rocks on the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt transformed through the rock formation. Rocks formed from the cooling and hardening of liquid magma are called igneous rock. Rocks that have been made of compaction and cementation are called sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed rock without melting.  Plate motion then comes in. Plate motion is movements caused by folded mountains to uplift. The metamorphic rocks in the Greenstone belt were buried deep inside Earth and were covered by many layers of rock. When the rocks were gone, the rocks of the Greenstone Belt were shown They transformed into metamorphic rock. ]]> 2023-03-25 19:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/goldegp/2zvtkn1dp71q4v5g/wish/2531447539
