It was boring, but she needed to learn.]]> 2019-03-29 18:52:04 UTC https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/346677169 451035 https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/346677587 "There are two types of igneous rocks, extrusive and intrusive. Extrusive igneous rocks are formed from lava erupted onto the Earth's surface. Intrusive rocks are formed beneath the Earth's surface where magma hardens. A type of an extrusive igneous rock is basalt, and a type of an intrusive igneous rock is diorite. For an igneous rock to turn into a sedimentary rock, it would have to be broken down, then compacted into a new rock, along with other pieces of sediment. If an igneous rock were to change into a metamorphic rock, it would have to undergo great heat and pressure. That's how I was born!"]]> 2019-03-29 18:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/346677587 451035 https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/346678971 "There are three types of sedimentary rocks, clastic, organic, and chemical. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from smaller rock fragments squeezed together, to form a new rock. This is compaction/cementation. An example of a clastic rock is flint. The little rocks sedimentary rocks are made of can be called sediment.  The sediment can be made from erosion. Organic rocks are formed when plant or animal sediment is made into rock. Coal is an organic sedimentary rock. Chemical rock is formed when minerals dissolve in a solution, then crystallize.  Limestone is a chemical rock. Also, because of deposition, there can be many layers of sedimentary rock. Now, for a sedimentary rock to turn into an igneous rock, the sedimentary rock must undergo heat underground, to turn into magma. Then, they must be cooled.  For a sedimentary rock to be formed into a metamorphic rock, it would have to go through heat and pressure." ]]> 2019-03-29 18:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/346678971 451035 https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/346998892 She asked her mother how she became an igneous rock. First, she needed to know some background information on igneous rocks.]]> 2019-04-01 02:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/346998892 451035 https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/346999181 Out of curiosity, the little rock asked about sedimentary rocks. ]]> 2019-04-01 02:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/346999181 451035 https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347014051 For the dad's side of the family tree, the rock asked him about metamorphic rocks.]]> 2019-04-01 04:07:11 UTC https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347014051 451035 https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347014219 "Metamorphic rocks are created under heat and pressure, deep beneath the Earth's surface. There are two types of metamorphic rocks, and they are classified by their grain. The first type is foliated rocks. Foliated rocks have grains in parallel bands. Gneiss is an example of a foliated metamorphic rock. Nonfoliated rocks is the other type of metamorphic rock. This type of metamorphic rock has grains that are arranged in a random pattern. Quartzite is a nonfoliated metamorphic rock. If metamorphic rock were to become igneous rock, it would have to become heated underground to the point where it becomes magma. Next, it would have to be cooled down. Before a metamorphic rock could become a sedimentary rock, it would have to be broken down into sediment, along with other rocks. After it would become sediment, it would need to be packed together to become a sedimentary rock."]]> 2019-04-01 04:08:09 UTC https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347014219 451035 https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347021412 "...that sure is a lot to take in!

Mom: "Yes, but she has biological parents, unlike you. That means that she actually is related to her parents. Her father is a metamorphic rock and her mother is an igneous rock. They both eroded a little bit to create her."
Little Rock: "That sounds scary. I'm gonna go ask dad about his side of the family."]]> 2019-04-01 18:27:48 UTC https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347337855 451035 https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347341562 2019-04-01 18:35:52 UTC https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347341562 451035 https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347343862 2019-04-01 18:39:47 UTC https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347343862 451035 https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347344959 2019-04-01 18:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347344959 451035 https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347345785 2019-04-01 18:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347345785 451035 https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347346976 2019-04-01 18:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347346976 451035 https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347348963 2019-04-01 18:49:01 UTC https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347348963 451035 https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347350230 2019-04-01 18:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/451035/akbakveqzrgt/wish/347350230
