Level Material History of Rock Worksheet Leah Bechtel 12/09/2012 SCI/245 Robert Dillon Write a 500- to 750-word explanation regarding the role of plate tectonics in the origin of igneous rocks. The role of plate tectonics in the origin of igneous rock is extremely important. Igneous rock is formed from magma that reaches the continental and oceanic crust or through hot spots that are around the world. There are three different places where igneous rocks can form; where the lithospheric

Metamorphic Rock Metamorphism means to change form; this is exactly what metamorphic rocks do. This paper will take a look at the Earth’s rock cycle to examine exactly where the metamorphic rock fits into it. It will also look at how metamorphic rocks are formed and the relationship between metamorphic rocks and igneous rock and sedimentary rocks. This paper will examine the geological characteristics and materials of metamorphic rocks‚ and examine some examples of metamorphic rocks and will describe

intrusive rocks harden slowly beneath the surface of the earth‚ and often form large mineral crystals within the rock. Granite is a good example of an intrusive rock.Porphyritic intrusive rocks have large crystals embedded in a matrix of smaller crystals. Pegmatite is the only porphyritic rock on the Science Olympiad list.Extrusive rocks harden quickly during a volcanic eruption and are usually smooth-grained. Basalt is the most common form of extrusive rock. |IgneousName |Classification|Description

A metamorphic Rock can be formed by simply being under the earth’s surface‚ being exposed to extremely high temperatures and a huge amount of pressure from the layers of rock above. These rocks can be formed by tectonic processes‚ some which include‚ continental collisions (this is a process that causes friction‚ distortion and horizontal pressure). These rocks can also be formed when rock becomes heated rapidly by the intrusion of a hot molten rock‚ (called magma) and it comes from the earth’s interior

SKILLS VS KNOWLEDGE In this present age‚ all around the world‚ the illusion that a student is "smart" by the information he remembers from the teachers or from books he reads has been employed by our educational system which leaves the mere skillful person in a lower class in the society. Students are now compared to other students by standardized test which rate your knowledge on what you remember and not what you know or can do. This educational system is not good enough for everyone to benefit

The rock cycle involves of a chain of continual progressions through which earth materials change from one form to another over time. Some processes in the rock cycle happen over millions of years and others occur much more quickly. There is no real starting or completion to the rock cycle; however‚ it may be appropriate to begin investigating the rock cycle with magma (Bergman 2005). Magma‚ or molten rock‚ forms only at certain locations within the earth‚ mostly along plate boundaries. Magma crystallizes
