start with the origin of universe. it has been stated in The Big Bang theory. Over 13.5 billions years ago‚ a gigantic explosion produce energy and fundamental particle that created the universe. This mean that all the things that we see today such as rock‚ animal‚ plant‚ water was created during that time. First‚ quark is formed which is proton‚ neutron or electron. When all the quark was combined‚ it formed atom. Atom is then will form molecule and will produce solid‚ liquid and gases. Some quark are

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

Two general processes used to figure out the age of rocks is relative dating and radiometric dating. We will compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of both methods. According to Lutgens and Tarbuck‚ Relative dating is the process in putting events in their proper sequence. Relative dating is based on assumption‚ not able to give an accurate date but an estimated time period where the rock originated from. A Danish scientist‚ Nicolaus Steno is accredited for the Law of Superposition.

Metamorphic and Igneous Rocks of the Hudson Highlands 3rd Field Report Abstract The entire region of the Hudson Highlands underwent high-grade metamorphism‚ and at a series of locations different intrusions occurred during the Grenville Orogeny. Certain evidences to help back up this claim are the presence of gneissic rock and index minerals such as Siliminite and Garnet. Since the mineral composition indicates granulite facies‚ then its protolithic content is pelitic‚ meaning shale/mudrock. Also

Professor Roberlyn Cabrera DETERMINING ROCK TYPE I. Introduction: A rock is a naturally occurring solid aggregate of one or more minerals or mineraloids. For example‚ the common rock granite is a combination of the quartz‚ feldspar and biotite minerals. The Earth’s outer solid layer‚ the lithosphere‚ is made of rock. Rocks have been used by mankind throughout history. From the Stone Age rocks have been used for tools. The minerals and metals we find in rocks have been essential to human civilization

Quartz can be found in all sorts of rocks. Igneous rocks sometimes contain large quartz crystals. Mica minerals Mica minerals make some rocks sparkle! They are often found in igneous rocks such as granite and metamorphic rocks such as schist. Feldspar Feldspar is the most common mineral in the Earth’s crust‚ so you are very likely to find it in the rocks you collect! It is found it all of the three rock types‚ but is most common in intrusive igneous rocks like granite where the crystals look
