    Lucky Koritela #23 The Rock Cycle The rock cycle begins when Earth’s plates shift around leaving gaps in between them making a volcano. The magma under Earth’s crust come through the gap and spill out of the volcano. Then the magma (lava) cools down and hardens into igneous rock. As time passes the igneous rock weathers (using substances such as water) away into little chips. After getting smaller‚ erosion (using elements such as wind) transports the little rocks to different places. The deposition

    A-CN-K (Al2O3- (CaO*+Na2O)-K2O) diagram A–CN–K ternary plot is useful tool to evaluate weathering trends in the source rock and to estimate K-metasomatism [Nesbitt and Young (1982‚ 1984); Fedo et al.‚ 1995]. The ideal weathering lines are parallel to A-CN boundary because the removal rates of Na and Ca from plagioclase are greater than the removal rate of K from k-feldspars. On the A–CN–K ternary plot (Fig.6.16) the samples are plotted more or less close to A - K boundary indicating that removal

    our planet over time through rocks. Rocks are divided into three major classifications; • Igneous- rocks created by volcanism and the cooling/ crystallization of magma. • Sedimentary- rocks created by the compaction and cementation of sediment created by the weathering of pre-existing rocks of igneous‚ metamorphic or sedimentary origin. • Metamorphic- rocks that are formed by metamorphosing pre-existing rocks through heat and pressure. Metamorphic rocks can be made from any of the

    which represents 80% of the Earth’s volume. The mantle consists mostly of molten rock called magma with a solid upper layer. A few gemstones form in the mantle‚ but all gems are mined in the crust. The crust is made up of three kinds of rock‚ known in geology as igneous‚ metamorphic and sedimentary rock. These technical terms refer to the way in which the rock is formed. Some gemstones are associated with one kind of rock in particular; others with several types. The igneous process involves the solidification

    Well‚ Earth hasn’t been moving vigorously but it is changing at a steady rate. New geological features‚ rock formations‚ and locations of plates all rise and demolish some in a lifetime and others over a span of millions of years. Earth is dynamic; it constantly progresses and doesn’t rest. Through the churns and molds‚ the twists and turns‚ Earth is active because of plate tectonics and the rock cycle. The ideas and theories that make up plate tectonics have shown Earth’s dynamism. The position
