Science Blog Post
This week in
science class we started our new unit, "The earth's Crust." Although
this topic can be viewed as mundane and kind've repetitive, I enjoy
learning about this sector of the science curriculum as it has always
been my favourite.
As we learn more about the three different
categories of rocks, and their specific formation (each of which I will
share a definition), we strengthen our knowledge and understanding of
the difference between rock and mineral.
Sedimentary Rock:
A rock
in which is formed through burial, compression, and chemical
modification of deposited weathered rock debris or sediments of the
earth's surface.
Igneous Rock:
A rock in
which is formed through solidification of magma that solidifies and
cools at the earth surface to conceive an extrusive or volcanic igneous
rock. Or when molten lava cools and solidifies beneath the earths
surface to conceive an intrusive or plutonic igneous rock
Metamorphic Rock: Rock in which is formed when existing rock is chemically or physically modified by intense heat or pressure.
I
am thoroughly pleased to inform you that I am enlightened with new
information each science class, and it would like to thank you all for
listening to my blog post.
