alfred Wegener, Right or wrong?

The theory of the tectonic plates establish that all the continents were together creating just one big continent thousand years ago this is known as Pangea. Over the time


A plate tectonic are large plates of rock in the earth surface  that can be Oceanic or continental.



Reflection



The thing that I enjoyed the most in the project was to work with different materials to get the model done.

The most challenging thing for me were the quiz because I did not know what I was going to be ask for, and i did not know if i was going to be right or wrong.

I learn how to use Animoto from this project!\

If I could do something that would of improve my work would be organizing the times so I can finish everything on time without worries. 

What I Would change about the project would be the limitation of partnership in different activities, because if we have a partrner the word would being easier and we would of end up faster.

Rock types

The rock cycle is when the rocks in the earth change shape and composition through a process that take many years and can be affect by different aspects. Magma comes out of the volcano to be lava, then this one gets cold and is how igneous rock is formed, we can have two types, intrusive that has big crystals  and extrusive that have small crystals. Sedimentary rocks are formed by compaction and sedimentation, in a simple way to say the rocks glue together, we find clastic that is formed by cold lava, bioclastic that is formed by death animals or plants, crystalline that is form  from liquid. Metamorphic rock are formed by heat and pressure. it has two types foliated that have lines or you can see the separation in levels and non foliated that is plain.



Vocabulary

sedimentation- the rock glues together and get hard


Magma- rock that melted down and became liquid inside the volcano

lava- melted rock when it's outside the volcano

Sedimentary rock - rock that forms from sediment that gets glue together


Metamorphic rock - rock that is formed by heat and pressure.

Igneous rock - rock that forms when the lave cools down and gets hard.


Solidification - the rock becomes hard.


Weathering - rain, wind, ice that breaks the rock into piece.


Erosion - when the sediments are take to other places.


Sediment - small rocks broke in to small pieces.


Compaction -  when the rocks became compact.

Rock types



Igneous Rock





Intrusive- Big crystals 






Extrusive- Small crystals 








sedimentary

                                                                      
Clastic-  just rock pieces










crystalline-  rock form from liquid 









bioclastic - death animals or plants







metamorphic rock 


foliated - lines where you can see the separation








Non- foliated-  plain rock
