The rocks from which the earth is composed
The physical, chemical and biological changes of the earth

crust
Where have you seen or heard
the word crust before?
by Eva Hugas
Are you hungry???Are you thinking about…?
Pie crust 0r bread crust?
by Eva Hugas
Where do youthink the Earth’s crust is?
by Eva Hugas
Just like pie crust and bread crust,the earth’s crust is on the outside
by Eva Hugas
The region just below the crust and extending all the way down to the Earth's core is called the mantle. The mantle is relatively flexible so it flows instead of fracturing.

coreWhere’s the core of an apple?
What is in the core of a peach?

Where’s the core of the Earth?
What do you think is inside the
core of the Earth?
by Eva Hugas
The core is at the center of the sphere. The inner part of the core is thought to be solid. The outer core is believed to be very hot . When solid substances such as rock or metal become hot enough, they melt into a liquid.

What do you thinkis the differencebetween a rock and a mineral?
by Eva Hugas
mineralA naturally formed , inorganic (not living)solid with a crystallinestructure

rockA solid mixture of crystals
of one or more minerals
or other materials
by Eva Hugas
Minerals can be part of rocks
but
rocks cannot be part of minerals

TYPES OF ROCKS

sedimentary
Sedimentary rocks are formed from particles of sand, shells, pebbles, and other fragments of material. Together, all these particles are called sediment. Gradually, the sediment accumulates in layers and over a long period of time hardens into rock. Sedimentary rock can break .

Pretend a chocolate bar is a rock.
What happens to the chocolate bar when you put it over a stove or a fire?
What happens when you put the liquid chocolate back in therefrigerator for a few days?
Where would it be so hotthat a rock would melt?

igneousIgneous rocks are formed when magma cools and become hard. Sometimes the magma cools inside the earth, and other times it erupts onto the surface from volcanoes . When lava cools very quickly the rock looks shiny and glasslike. Sometimes gas bubbles are trapped in the rock during the cooling process, leaving tiny holes and spaces in the rock.

So… like the chocolatebar in the example…Igneous rocks are
formedby melting and cooling
by Eva Hugas
metamorphicMetamorphic rocks are formed under the surface of the earth from the change that occurs due to intense heat and pressure (squeezing). The rocks that result from these processes often have layers and may have shiny cristals.
Examples of this rock type include gneiss and marble.

Rock cycleWhat happens to water in the water
cycle?
What do you think happens to rocks
in the rock cycle?
The three kinds of rocks: sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous change into one of the other two kinds of rocks
