I like this illustration of the rock cycle showing how rocks change over time. Click on the picture or follow this link to read more.
thats a tricked out pic. Cant wait to learn bout rocks. Just yesterday i was watching about how the layers looked and stuff on rocks about 1 billion to 10 billion years ago and stuff.
okk
i like how the rock cycle pic is drawn and written out…helps alot!;)
its like an easy way to learn the rock cycle
I wonder over how many years does is take for a rock to weather or erode?
How much is the questionon the wethering activity worth?
What do you mean?
are we going to melt crayons in the experiment. if we do melt them how are the going to look,feel and smell? what can we learn from this? what can we get from this?
when we melted the crayons they kinda smelled hahaha
but the crayon experiment is a cool way to learn about how rocks erode:)
I like how we did the experiment this week. It really helped me understand how the rock cycle really works. I think we should do more experiments because it helps us understand what we are talking about a little better.
I wounder how the world would be if we didnt have rocks because we kind of need rocks to build buildings and bridges and side walks because they all include some type of rock.
soo the way the rock cycle is put toqether
i really like it!
it makes me and others understand the way the rock cycle works
I re-did the experiment at home with the crayons, except my version is stightly bigger and looks like chocholate. It even formed mini caves in it!
Can a igneous rock change back into a Metamorphic rock?
how does a rock cycle work? and how wath e rock cycle created?
didnt u look at the picture of the rock cycle?!?!
it says it all there;)
i really dont understand the rock cycle can some explan it to me

i like this illustration because it helps me understand the rock cycle more.
its easier to understand when i can see a picture of it, insted of just reading it out of a book.
i liked the crayon experiment, it helped me understand more.

i wonder if there is a 4th rock type????
i dont think there is , if there was then i think that maybe they would have found it already.
maybe they havnt looked hard..yet
who knows what else there is so..
Hmmm… do you mean like some scientist out in the jungle finding a new species of insects (they do that you know)? But that would be more like finding a new rock, not a new classification of rock.
Think about it this way we divide living things into kingdoms — plants and animals are the familiar ones but we also have others like protista, and fungi. In rocks we have 3 classes: sedimentary. metamorphic and igneous. It’s not likely that we’ll find a new kingdom of living things, although not impossible, so maybe we can come up with a new classification type for rocks but that would be probably be quite rare.
On the other hand maybe they could find a new rock, maybe some new type of limestone (a sedimentary rock) made from a different type of shells. That would be more like finding a new insect.
