It is the rock cycle and is ever lasting. I am Morgan Freeman, and will take you on a journey through the rock cycle. We will start our journey in the mantle   ]]> 2019-03-29 15:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346597415 Narrator 246299 https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346600185 Morgan Freeman]]> 2019-03-29 15:31:20 UTC https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346600185 Igneous Rock 246299 https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346978473 2019-04-01 00:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346978473 What Drives the Rock Cycle? 246299 https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346979495 The main driving force of the rock cycle, is convection and the tectonic plates ]]> 2019-04-01 00:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346979495 Intrusive Igneous Rocks 246299 https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346980081 Intrusive igneous rocks have well defined crystals, and form under the Earth's surface. ]]> 2019-04-01 00:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346980081 Igneous Rock 246299 https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346980616 Deep within the asthenosphere it is so hot that rock melts and forms magma. Since the magma is less dense than the surround rock it moves its way up. As it does this, it slowly cools, crystallizes, and becomes either intrusive rock or extrusive rock   ]]> 2019-04-01 00:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346980616 Extrusive Igneous Rocks 246299 https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346984218 Extrusive igneous rocks form when the mama reaches the surface and would now be classified as lava. It would have small crystals due to the fast rapid cooling]]> 2019-04-01 01:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346984218 Sedimentary Rock 246299 https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346985497 2019-04-01 01:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346985497 Sedimentary rock 246299 https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346986037 Once rock is on the surface it can become sedimentary rock. After  weathering the rock is nothing more than particles and will eventually rest and become hard rock. It does this because other layers lay on top of it and compresses it to become solid rock. ]]> 2019-04-01 01:10:20 UTC https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346986037 Clastic Sedimentary Rock 246299 https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346989824 Clastic sedimentary rock is formed after rocks go through weathering and combine. An example of this is shale.  ]]> 2019-04-01 01:30:00 UTC https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346989824 Nonclastic Sedimentary Rock 246299 https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346990741 This rock is formed through chemical reactions mainly in the ocean. An example of this is limestone. ]]> 2019-04-01 01:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346990741 Metamorphic Rock 246299 https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346991709 2019-04-01 01:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346991709 Metamorphic Rock 246299 https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346991861 Metamorphic rock is formed when rocks are buried deep, in high pressure, and in high temperatures. This will form new rock without melting, and when melting does occur the rock cycle will start over again. This process will occur at the very bottom of sedimentary rock and will either cause the rock to form new larger crystals or arrange themselves in layers.  ]]> 2019-04-01 01:42:06 UTC https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346991861 Foliated Metamorphic Rock 246299 https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346991914 When the pressure is greater in one direction than the other the rock minerals will rearrange themselves with the longer minerals. This will cause the rock to have a stripped look. An example of this is slate. Slate used to be shale, but after it went through heat and pressure it changed to became slate.]]> 2019-04-01 01:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346991914 Nonfoliated Metamorpic Rock 246299 https://padlet.com/246299/f5d02upq43bs/wish/346991946 Around the igneous intrusions the metamorphic rock will recrystallize and will become more denser in the the high pressure area.
