1. The difference between a rock and a mineral is that a mineral is naturally occurring and is an inorganic solid whereas a rock is a mixture of minerals.
2. First, the sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock from heat and pressure. Then the metamorphic rock can then melt and cool into an igneous rock. So metamorphic rocks can turn into igneous rocks at any given time.
3. First, molten rock from a volcano cools and becomes an igneous rock. Then it slowly breaks down when it is exposed to air and water to create sediments. Those sediments are then compacted into sedimentary rock. Heat and pressure may transform sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock. Finally when metamorphic rock melts and hardens, the igneous rock is then formed again.
4. One way that the rock cycle illustrates the principle of conservation of matter is that when pieces of rock are eroded due to ice or wind or maybe water. You may think that they material is destroyed or lost in the cycle but the chemical elements that make up the minerals and rocks are not destroyed.
5. Magma is the melted rock that comes up through the surface of the earth from the core. It then cools and can form igneous rocks. Then when the igneous rocks erode, they form sediments which are little tiny pieces of rock or sand and other minerals. Then those sediments are then compacted together to form sedimentary rocks.

1. A rock is a mixture of such materials, rock fragments, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other natural materials. So a rock is different from a mineral in how that a rock is a mixture of minerals.
2. Igneous rocks form when magma is cooled while a metamorphic rock is formed through heat and pressure from either a sedimentary rock or a igneous rock. They are similar in how that they need each other to form.
3. A sedimentary rock can change by heat and pressure to form a metamorphic rock. The metamorphic tock then can melt and later cool to form and igneous rock. The igneous rock can then be broken into fragments by weathering and erode away. The fragments might later compact and cement together to form another sedimentary rock.
4. Rock cycle processes do not create or destroy matter.
5. Magma is molten rock, sediment is sand like fragments of rocks, and sedimentary rocks seem like sediments glued together based on the illustration in Figure 2.
1.The difference betweeen rocks and minerals are that rocks are a mixture of minerals and other stuff.
2.Igenious rocks are formed when magma is cooled however metamorphic rocks form through heat and pressure. They are similar in how there are in the same cycle.
3.The major processes of the rock cycle is through compaction and cementation, heat and pressure, melting, cooling, and weathering and erosion.
4.Rock cycle processes do not create or destroy matter.
5.Magma can be defined as melted red stuff that flow slowly, sediment can seem to be sand like stuff, and sedimentary rocks can be infered to be rocks that are formed when sediments are put together based on Figure 2 in the science textbook.
1. Rocks differ from minerals because rocks are consisted of many minerals. Minerals or mixtures of minerals are what create rocks.
2. Igneous rocks are formed when magma cools. A metamorphic rock is formed when a sedimentery rock gets pressure and heat added to the rock. The difference between these two rock formations are when heat is changed. (From hot to cold), and (cold to hot).
3. The major process of the rock cycle is when magma cools and becomes an igneous rock and after erosion sediments are formed. After this compaction and cementation a sedimentary rock is formed. Then heat and pressure is added to create a metamorphic rock. When this melts this becomes magma.
4. One way the the rock cycle can illustrate the conservation of matter is how after all of these reactions occur the object just changes color or other chemical properties. Thus for example when metamorhic rock melts it becomes magma. During this reaction the metamorphic rock does not lose anything and the magma is formed.
5. I think I would think magma is a sedimentary rock. Looking at its physical and chemical properties look very similar. I can know this because when heat is added it changes to metamorphic and magma looks very hot aswell.

1)Rocks are different from minerals because they contain many different minerals inside of them
2)Metamorphic rock is rock that is going to be melted into magma and then is going to be cooled to make igneous rock
3)The major parts of the rock cycle is rock is melted and then cooled, that makes it hard and then it is exposed to it erodes and then it hardens and then melts again. Etc.Etc
4)It can because when stone erodes some people think it gets destroyed and disappears but it just gets blown away of something or it forms a new thing
5)I would define magma as molten rock and sediment as dirt and sedimentary rock as just like cement or stuff compacted together.
Ryan O. :P
1.Rocks are mixtures of such minerals and minerals are elements that forms rocks.
2.The metamorphic rock forms when a sedimentary rock change by heat and pressure. When the metamorphic rock melt and later cool down, it becomes an igneous rock.
3.There are many different types of processes of the rock cycle. By melting, cooling, weathering, erosion, compaction, cementation,
heat and pressure.
4.The changes that take place in the rock cycle never destroy or create matter.
5.When metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous rock melted it become magma. Also magma forms an igneous rock when it cools down.
Sediment forms when sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rock brokes by weathering and erosion. When sediments go through compaction and cementation, it forms sedimentary rock.
HannahK.
1. Minerals are naturally occuring solids, having a definite chmecal structure while a rocks is made up of one or more minerals.
2.Igneous rocks are made from volcanoes(magma, ash, lava, etc.) while metamorphic rocks are rocks that is a rock that is changed by heat and pressure.
3.in the rock cycle, rocks changes into different types of other rocks like igeous could break down into sedimentary rocks and so on and so forth.
4. all three types of rock, every time they change, they still have the same mass.
5. Magma would be hot lava in the earth, Sedimentary rocks is one of the three main types of rock that is formed from depostion and consolidation of minerals,Sediment is any particulate matter that is transported by fluid flow.
Moses L.
1) Minerals are naturally occurring, inorganic solids with certain chemical properties and atom arrangements. Rocks are a mixture of different minerals.
2) Igneous rocks are formed by cooling magma. Metamorphic rocks are formed when rock changes due to temperature or pressure changes.
3) The major prccesses are weathering and erotion, melting, heat and pressure, cooling, compaction, and cementation.
4) The rock cycle shows rock changing forms because of the prccesses it is subjected to, but even though the rock looks different it has just changed composition.
5) I would say magma is a hot, thick, flowing liquid. I would say sediment is small granules of rock almost like sand. I would say sedimentary rock is like a bunch of smaller rocks pressed together.
Benjamin B.
1) A rock is the mixture of minerals. Rocks aren't crystalline solids.
2) Igneous rocks form when hot magma or lava cools and hardens.
Basaltic, Granitic and Andesitic rocks are detailed forms of igneous (lava or magma) rocks.
Rocks, changed because of temperature, pressure and hot watery fluids are called metamorphic
rocks. Every form of rock, such as igneous or sedimentary can be changed to a metamorphic
rock. Metamorphic rocks can be represented as folliated rocks, too. Non-folliated rocks
have no layers. Igneous rocks have more types than metamorphic rocks. Both, igneous and metamorphic rocks are changed
and created naturally. Layers don't exist in igneous rocks, but they do in folliated rocks.
3) It is melting. The rock is melting (turning into a hot liquid).
4) Matter is neither gained or lost.
5) Magma: molten substance in the earth's crust
sediment: matter that has been deposited by some natural process
sedimentary rock: rock composed of sediment
Robin Gl.
1. A rock is a mixture of minerals but minerals are things that are formed together to make a rock.
2. A metamorphic rock can melt and later cool to form a igneous rock. The igneous rock then could be broken into fragments by weathering and erode away.
3. The major processes that happens in the rock cycle is that a rock can be weathered to small rocks and mineral grains. This material then can be eroded and carried away by wind, water, or ice.
4. For example, when the rock cycle happens and a mineral erodes away some particles left from forming the rock might be carried away by wind and combine with other minerals to form a different rock. Therefore, the chemical elements that make up the rock are not destroyed.
5. From looking at the illustration in Figure 2, magma can be defined as hot melted rock coming from below the earth. Sediments are loose particles and sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments.
Chapter 2, Section 1 Review:
1)Rocks differ from minerals since rocks are mixtures of common minerals (called “rock-forming minerals”), rock fragments, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other materials found in nature. Minerals, on the other hand, are simply naturally-occurring, nonorganic substances, and they are a smaller unit than rocks.
2)Igneous rocks are rocks that are the products of cooled magma. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed by heat and pressure. Both igneous and metamorphic rocks change by processes and create new rocks eventually. In fact, any rock from both categories can change into any of the three major rock types.
3)The major processes of the rock cycle involve:
A metamorphic rock forms via HEAT AND PRESSURE.
An igneous rock forms via MELTING (MAGMA) AND COOLING.
A sedimentary rock forms via FRAGMENTS FROM WEATHERING AND EROSION THAT COMPACT AND CEMENT TOGETHER.
4)The rock cycle can illustrate the principle of conservation of matter since the rock cycle neither creates nor destroys matter. In fact, the amount of mass involved remains constant (like how energy and mass in the world is constant), which is why it is called a CYCLE.
5)Magma, in the simplest of words, is melted rock.
Sediment are fragments from weathering or erosion that can form rocks (which are called sedimentary rocks.)
Sedimentary rocks are one of the three major rock types, and they form from sediments, or fragments (such as sand), which compact and cement together.

Chapter 2 Section1 Assessment
1. A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and an orderly arrangement of atoms; whereas, a rock is a mixture of suck minerals, rock fragments, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other natural materials. In simpler words, rocks contain minerals.
2. Igneous rocks form when magma cools. Metamorphic rocks form when heat and pressure are added to sedimentary rocks or when heat and pressure is added to igneous rocks.
3. The rock cycle starts is a cycle in which rocks can be formed. Magma cools which forms igneous rocks (which can be melted to form magma). Igneous rocks can be weathered or eroded to form sediments OR heat and pressure can be added to them to form metamorphic rocks. Sediments can go through compaction and cementations which forms sedimentary rocks (sedimentary rocks can go through weathering and erosion to form sediments). Heat and pressure can be added to sedimentary rocks to form metamorphic rocks. Metaphoric rocks can melt to form magma and they can be weathered and eroded to form sediments.
4. The principle of conservation of matter states that no matter can be lost or gained. The rock cycle demonstrates this because during this process just because the magma changes form doesn’t mean that its matter is lost, just changed.
5. Judging by “Figure 2” magma is molten rock that is a thick liquid which can be cooled and hardened. Sediments are similar to sand and sedimentary rocks are sediments that are compacted together.
Questions
1. Explain how rocks differ from minerals.
2. Compare and contrast igneous and metamorphic rock formation.
3. Describe the major processes of the rock cycle.
4. Explain one way that the rock cycle can illustrate the principle of conservation of matter
5. Think Critically - How would you define magma based on the illustration in Figure 2? How would you define sediment and sedimentary rock?
Answers
1. Rocks are MADE of minerals. Minerals are mixed with each other to create a bigger rock.
2. Igneous rocks are made from rocks melting in magma and metamorphic rocks are mad from heat and pressure.
3. Sedimentary rocks are made from compaction and cementation from sediments. Then the sedimentary rock would melt and turn into a igneous rock or be affected by heat and pressure to create a metamorphic rock. Then the metamorphic rock can melt and also become an igneous rock. When metamorphic rocks and igneous rocks are weathered and erodes, they turn back into sediments.
4. The rock cycle can illustrate by telling us chemical elements that make up minerals and rocks are not destroyed.
5. Magma is a boiling liquid that can melt rocks and turn them into igneous rocks by cooling down. A sediment is a sand form of any kind of rock. A sedimentary rock is a rock that is sediments brought and attached to each other.
1.Rocks differ from minerals, first rock is a mixture of such minerals,rock fragments, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other natural materials (definition from textbook). However a mineral, is a naturally occuring, inorganic solid.
2.Igneous and metamorphic rock formation are different. A metamorphic rock could melt into magma and then cool and turn into a igneous rock. Through heat and pressure the igneous rock could turn into a metamorphic rock.
3.First sediments goes through cementation and turn into a sedimentary rock. Then through heat and pressure it turns into a metamorphic rock. After that, it metlts into magma. Then it cools and turns into a igneous rock. Lastly the igneous rock goes through weathering and erosion and turns into sediments. This is the rock cycle and it just repeats.
4.One way that the rock cycle can illustrate the principle of conservation matter is when the rock is eroded and carried away by the wind it may seem like the rock is destroyed. However, it did not get destroyed, it gets redistributed in other forms. That is an example of conservation of matter.
5.I would define magma based on the illustraion in Figure 2 that there was a volcano and inside there is magma. Rocks would be inside the magma and form into different rocks. I would define sediment rock as rocks that are not clumped together, but scattered, and crushed into tiny pieces. I would define sedimentary rock as a rock that is compacted and not scattered all over the place.

1. Rocks differ from minerals because a rock is a mixture of various minerals, rock fragments, volcanic gas, or organic matter while minerals are strictly inorganic and have much more definite chemical structures.
2. Metamorphic rocks and igneous rocks are different because metamorphic rocks form by heat and pressure while igneous rocks are made by cooling magma. However, they are also similar because they can both be broken down back to sediments to form any of the three types of rock.
3. The major processes of the rock cycle are compaction and cementation, exposure to heat and pressure, melting, cooling, and erosion.
4. The rock cycle can illustrate the principle of conservation of matter by how the cycle never ends. The matter does not run out and is reused over and over again. This shows that matter is not lost, but just changes form.
5. Based on the illustration in Figure 2, I would define magma as melted rock. I would define sediments as broken fragments of rock and sedimentary rock as the compact and cemented form of rock fragments.
1. The differ between rocks and minerals are that rock is a mixtre of such minerals, rock fragments, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other natural materials. But, mineral is a naturally occuring, inorganic solid with the exact chemical composition and an orderly arrangement of atoms.
2. To form a metamorphic rock, a sedimentary rock can change by heat and pressure. Then, to form an igneous rock, the metamorphic rock melts and later cools down. As a result, igneous rock breaks into fragments by weathering and erode away. Later, to form another sedimentary rock, the fragments might later compact and cement together.
3. Metamorphic rock melts and turns to a magma, then cools down to form an Igneous rock. Metamorphic rock forms when sedimentary rock gives heat and pressure. All rocks turns to magma when they melt. To form another sedimentary rock, fragments of compaction and cementation needed.
4. The chemical elements that make up minerals and rocks aren't destroyed. As a result, this fact illustrates the principle of conservation of matter. (when erosion occurs)
5. I would define magma based on figure 2 as any crude mixture of finely divided mineral or organic matter. The definition of sediment would be minerals or organic matters deposited by water, air, or ice. Lastly, I would define sedimentary as formed by the deposition of sediment, as certain rocks.
My edited version (I fixed a couple of errors from the previous one I sent):
1)Rocks differ from minerals since rocks are mixtures of common minerals (called “rock-forming minerals”), rock fragments, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other materials found in nature. Minerals, on the other hand, are simply naturally-occurring, nonorganic substances, and they are a smaller unit than rocks.
2)Igneous rocks are rocks that are the products of cooled magma. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed by heat and pressure. Both igneous and metamorphic rocks change by processes and create new rocks eventually. In fact, any rock from both categories can change into any of the three major rock types. They are also two of the three major rocks types and are part of what is known as the “rock cycle.”
3)The major processes of the rock cycle involve:
A metamorphic rock forms via heat and pressure
An igneous rock forms via melting and cooling.
A sedimentary rock forms via fragments (called sediments) from weathering and erosion that compact and cement together.
4)The rock cycle illustrates the principle of conservation of matter as the rock cycle neither creates nor destroys matter. For example, one way that the rock cycle illustrates this concept is erosion. When a material erodes, it doesn’t disappear: the chemical elements that make up the mineral aren’t destroyed and are simply redistributed in other forms.
5)Magma, in the simplest of words, is molten rock (according to Figure 2.)
Sediments are fragments from weathering or erosion that can form rocks (which are called sedimentary rocks.) They can also be thought of as mineral grains.
Sedimentary rocks are one of the three major rock types, and they form from sediments, or fragments (such as sand), which compact and cement together.

1) Mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and an orderly arrangement of atoms. However, a rock is a mixture of such minerals, rock fragments, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other natural materials.
2) Compare: Both igneous and metamorphic rocks can change into any of the three major rock types.
Contrast: The igneous rock could be broken into fragments by weathering and erode away. However, the metamorphic rock can melt and later cool to form an igneous rock.
3) Process of rock cycle. A sedimentary rock can change by heat and pressure to form a metamorphic rock. The metamorphic rock then can melt and later cool to form an igneous rock. The igneous rock then could be broken into fragments by weathering and erode away. The fragments might later compact and cement together to form another sedimentary rock and so on...
4) When you think of erosion, it might seem that the material is somehow destroyed and lost from the cycle. This is not the case. The chemical elements that make up minerals and rocks are not destroyed. This fact illustrates the principle of conversation of matter.
5) Magma is based on the illustration in Figure 2 because mostly it cools down to form all these rocks.
Sediment is loose pieces of minerals and rocks and sedimentary rock is a one of three main rock types, formed from particles of sand, pebbles, and other fragments of material. It is fairly soft and may break apart or crumble easily.

1. A rock is different from a mineral because a mineral is one thing and a rock is a combination of different minerals.
2. The igneous and metamorphic rocks are both able to form into one of the three major rock types. But the igneous rock can break with weather and could be eroded while the metamorphic rocks melts and cools to form the rock it is.
3. A sedimentary rock can change by heat and pressure to from a metamorphic rock. After the metamorphic rock can change by melting and later cooling to form an igneous rock. The igneous rock can then breaks apart and be another sedimentary rock.
4. This can explain the rock cycle because it reuses matter and can change the form of matter just like the water cycle.
5. The magma melts and then the rock breaks apart and combines with other types of rock creating a sedimentary rock.
1) Minerals are inorganic substances that are naturally made and are made out of elements. Rocks are things that are made from many different minerals
2) Metamorphic rocks are made from sedimentary rocks when they are heated and pressured. An igneous rock is created when a metamorphic rock cools down.
3) A sediment turns into sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rofcks turn into metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks melt and turn into magma. Magma cools down and created igneous rocks. Igneous rocks turn into sediments by erosion or by weathering. After this the cycle repeates over again.
4) Because the rock cycle shows how the elements that make up minerals and rocks are not destroyed.
5)Magma is a red yellow color of thick liquid/solid. Sediments are small and sandy rocks but sedimentary rocks are much bigger and are in much bigger chunks than sediments.
1. A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and an orderly arrangement of atoms. But a rock is a mixture of such minerals, rock fragment, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other natural materials.
2. An igneous rock is formed from solidification of molten rock, and metamorphic rock is formed from changes to an existing rock without melt. Also igneous rocks are formed from magma or lava but metamorphic rocks have been formed by an igneous rock or a sedimentary rock. Thus, the metamorphic rocks have bigger crystals.
3. The rock cycle always have igneous rock, sedimentary rock, metamorphic rock and magma. Also it changes by cooling, melting, compaction & cementation, weather & erosion, and heat & pressure.
4. When the chemical elements that make up minerals and rocks are not destroyed, it is a fact that illustrates the principle of conservation of matter.
5. The magma in the figure two is erupting from bottom to top. When all three types of rock are melted, it becomes magma. But when it is cooled, it becomes igneous rock. Sediments are loose materials such as rock fragments, mineral grains, and bits of shell that have been, moved by wind, water, ice, or gravity. A sedimentary rock forms when sediments are pressed and cemented together, or when minerals form from solution.
1. Minerals are the small crystals that bond to form bigger rocks.
2. While igneous rock is more smooth and made of many more different minerals, metamorphic rocks are more brittle and thin (compressed by heat and pressure).
3. Starting from a sedimentary rock, heat and pressure will be applied, and then it will turn into a metamorphic rock. After that, the rock will melt, and then turn into magma. After that magma cools and becomes an igneous rock, it will turn into sediments as a result of weathering and erosion. Then, after compaction and cementation, it will turn back into a sedimentary rock.
4. One example from the rock cycle that illustrates the conservation of matter is when, from the result of weathering and erosion, igneous rock turns into sediments. Although they may look differently, they are actually made up of the same minerals.
5. From the picture, I would define magma as something that spews out of the top of the volcano and spreads out to all directions. I would define sediments as small grains of crystals, and sedimentary rocks as the grains clumped together.
1. A mineral is a "naturally occuring, inorganic solid with a definite chemcial composition" while a rock is a mixture of different minerals.
2. an igneous rock is formed when magma cools, but it can be broken into fragments by weathering and erosion. If it melts it can also turn back into magma and if it has alot of heat and pressure it can turn into a metamorphic rock. A metamorphic rock is the result of a sedimentary or igneous rock that has been changed by the weather, heat, or pressure.
3.The major processes of the rock cycle is changing a certain type of rock into a different rock type through melting, weathering, erosion, cooling, and heat and pressure.
4. the conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed but it can be rearranged. This cycle proves that the matter in the rocks can be changed from one form of a rock to a different form, but it cant disappear altogether. It just changes shape.
5. I would define magma as lava or a really hot liquid. I would define a sediment as a crushed rock or sand. I would define a sedimentary rock as a bunch of little rock particles put together.
1. Rocks differ from minerals because rocks are a mixture of minerals, rock fragments, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other natural materials.
2. Igneous rocks are rocks that form from magma cooling. Metamorphic rocks are igneous rocks that have been through heat and pressure to turn into metamorphic rock.
they are similar because they both come from molten magma.
3. Magma cools, and then turns into igneous rock. Then it can either melt, turn into metamorphic rock with heat and pressure, or weather and erode into sediments. Then the sediments compact and cement into sedimentary rock. sedimentary rock can melt into magma, or turn into metamorphic rock through heat and pressure. All rocks can weather and erode into sediments, or melt into magma.
4.It can illustrate the principle of conversation of matter because it says that all things become sediments, and then melt back into magma, which was what it started out as.
5. I would define magma is molten rock. I define sediment as bits of rocks, and sedimentary rock as a rock that is a mixture of sediments.
Andrew L
1. Rocks differ from minerals because minerals are just an element or a compound. However, rocks are multiple minerals put together.
2. Igneous rocks are from volcanoes of from the magma that is under the earth's crust. The magma would slowly leak into the crust, and later it would come up to the top of the crust because of erosion and many other natural forces. It can also be formed when volcanoes erupt. This is called Intrusive and Extrusive igneous rocks, respectively. However, metamorphic rocks from form igneous or sedimentary rocks put into tons of pressure.
3. Igneous rocks are eroded or weathered, which turns in to sediments. Through compaction, these sediments form sedimentary rocks. These sedimentary rocks are heated up and pressured to form a metamorphic rock. The metamorphic rock can melt and cool back into igneous rock and goes around and around.
4.When thinking of erosion, many think that a part of it is lost or destroyed. However, the elements that make up the minerals cannot be and are not destroyed.
5. Magma is the center of these three rocks, the melted form of them. Sediments is the sand-like substances which then are compacted and cementated into a sedimentary rock.
1. Explain how rocks differ from minerals.
Rocks are different from minerals because they are a combination of different minerals.
2. Compare and contrast igneous and metamorphic rock formation.
Igneous rock formation is when a metamorphic rock melts then cools to forma igneous rock. A metamorphic rock formation is when a sedimentary rock is changed through adding heat and pressure. They are kind of the opposite to each other because metamorphic rock formation uses heat while igneous rock formation cools off.
3. Describe the major processes of the rock cycle.
The major processes of the rock cycle is that a metamorphic rock melts to produce magma which cools off to become a igneous rock. This rock turns into sediments through weathering and erosion. The sediments become a sedimentary rock through compaction and cementation. The sedimentary rock becomes a metamorphic rock through heat and pressure.
4. Explain one way that the rock cycle can illustrate the principle of conservation of matter
When a rock turns into another type of rock it does not take up or destroy any of the elements that form the minerals. This supports the principle of conseration of matter because no mass is lost or gained during the reaction or change.
5. Think Critically - How would you define magma based on the illustration in Figure 2? How would you define sediment and sedimentary rock?
I think magma would be considered as a liquid form of rock because when hardened it is a rock. I would define a sediment and sedimentary rock by saying that sediments are particles of a sedimentary rock that are not closely packed as the particles in the sedimentary rock.
1. Rocks differ from minerals because minerals are just an element or a compound. However, rocks are multiple minerals put together.
2. Igneous rocks are from volcanoes of from the magma that is under the earth's crust. The magma would slowly leak into the crust, and later it would come up to the top of the crust because of erosion and many other natural forces. It can also be formed when volcanoes erupt. This is called Intrusive and Extrusive igneous rocks, respectively. However, metamorphic rocks from form igneous or sedimentary rocks put into tons of pressure.
3. Igneous rocks are eroded or weathered, which turns in to sediments. Through compaction, these sediments form sedimentary rocks. These sedimentary rocks are heated up and pressured to form a metamorphic rock. The metamorphic rock can melt and cool back into igneous rock and goes around and around.
4.When thinking of erosion, many think that a part of it is lost or destroyed. However, the elements that make up the minerals cannot be and are not destroyed.
5. Magma is the center of these three rocks, the melted form of them. Sediments is the sand-like substances which then are compacted and cementated into a sedimentary rock.
1. Rocks differ from minerals because a rock is a mixture of such minerals, rock fragments, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other natural materials.
2. The difference between the formation of a igneous rock to a metamorphosis rock is that a sedimentary rock can change by heat and pressure to form a metamorphic rock whereas the metamorphic rock could melt and later cool to form an igneous rock.
3. The major processes of the rock cycle are compaction and cementation, weathering and erosion, melting, cooling and having heat and pressure.
4.The rock cycle can illustrate the principle of conservation of matter because the weathered rocks and mineral grains can be eroded and carried away by wind, water, or ice.
5. Based on the illustration in figure 2 I would define magma as a hot slow substance because of the fact that it is melted and has a ton of heat and pressure. I would define sediment as a cool muddy substance because it has been weathered and has erosion. It becomes compact as it becomes a sedimentary rock. I would define sedimentary rock as a compact and cemented rock.
1. Rocks differ from minerals because rocks are made up of minerals, which are inorganically occuring substances.
2. Comparing and contrasting igneous and metamorphic rock formation, igneous rocks form from melted and cooled metamorphic rocks, while metamorphic rocks are formed from heated and pressured sedimentary rocks. Both are formed with a relevance to heat.
3. The major processess of the rock cycle are seidmentary rocks getting heated and pressured into metamorphic rocks, which get melted into magma, which get cooled into igneous rocks, which can be weathered and eroded into sediments, which get compacted back into sedimentary rocks.
4. The rock cycle can illustrate the principle of conservation matter because although the rocks go through many changes, no part of them dissappear or appear; the particles merely arrange themselves differently.
5. Based on the illustration in Figure 2, I would define magma as the medium between metamorphic and igneous rocks. I would define sediment as 'sand', or dusty particles of rocks. I would define sedimentary rock as the rock the forms from the compaction of the dust called sediment.
1. A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic crystalline solid with a specific chemical composition and a characteristic internal regular geometric arrangement of atoms, sometimes express as natural crystal faces.
A rock is an aggregat of one or more mineral particles formed through either crystallisation of molten magma, settling of particles, or reheating and pressure applied to pre-existing rocks with no set chemical composition or atomic structure.
Rocks are mineral but all minerals are not rocks.
2. Igneous rocks form when hot magma cools and hardens. on the other hand metamorphic rocks form because of changes in temperature and pressure of the presence of hot, watery fluids.
3. The rock cycle shows the three types of rocks (igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary) and the processes that form them.
A sedimentary rock can change by heat and pressure to form a metamorphic rock. The metamorphic rock then can melt and later cool to form an igneous rock. The igneous rock then could be broken into fragments by weathering and erode away. The fragments might later compact and cement together to form another sedimentary rock.
4. When erosions happen it might seem as if the minerals a re destroyed and lost form the cycle, Although they aren't. This illustrates the principle of conservation of matter. The changes that take place in the rock cycle never destroy or create matter.
5. I would define magma as a melted rock material created of common elements and fluids.
I would define sediment as matter that settles to the bottom of a liquid.
I would define sedimentary rock as one of the three main rock types.
1. Explain how rocks differ from minerals.
Rocks are made up of different minerals. A mineral is part of a rock, but a rock cannot be part of a mineral.
2. Compare and contrast igneous and metamorphic rock formation.
Igneous rocks are created when magma from the Earth cools down. On the other hand, metamorphic rocks are created by applying heat and pressure to sedimentary and igneous rocks.
3. Describe the major processes of the rock cycle.
Magma from the Earth's crust cools and changes into an igneous rock. The igneous rock is weathered and eroded, thus becoming a sediment. The sediments are compacted and cement into a sedimentary rock after long periods of time. The sedimentary rock undergoes a process of extreme heat and pressure to become a metamorphic rock. The metamorphic rock melts to become magma.
4. Explain one way that the rock cycle can illustrate the principle of conservation of matter
Rocks are weathered and eroded into tiny mineral grains. It may seem as if the rock suddenly disappeared from the rock cycle, but the truth is that it is in a different form. Later, when all the tiny grains are cemented together, it should come out to be the same amount as the original rock.
5. Think Critically - How would you define magma based on the illustration in Figure 2? How would you define sediment and sedimentary rock?
Magma is molten rock found in a liquid state in the earth's crust or mantle. Sediment is a body of mineral grains that can be transported by fluids. Sedimentary rocks are rocks that are created when sediments come together.
1. Rocks are mixtures of minerals or other natural materials. Whereas, a mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and an orderly arrangement of atoms.
2. Igneous rock formation is formed by cooling magma and metamorphic rock formation melts into magma. Metamorphic rock formation is from sedimentary rock formation when heated and pressureed. And if you melt igneous rock formation, you get magma. If you put heat and pressure to the igneous rock, then you get metamorphic rocck formation. Both form sediments through weathering and erosion.
3. The major processes are sediments that are compacted and cementated forms sedimentary rocks. By heating and pressuring sedimentary rocks, you get metamorphic rocks. Then by melting metamorphic rocks, you get magma. By cooling magma, you get igneous rocks. Weathering and erosion from igneous rocks returns back to sediments.
4. The Priniciple of conservation of matter states that you can neither create or destroy matter. So on that point, an example that illustrates the principle of conservation of matter is erosion. The chemical elements are not destroyed or lost. The elements just sorted out in other forms.
5. I would define magma as the melted form of a sedimentary rock, metamorphic rock, and a igneous rock. I would define sediment as the result of weathering and erosion from sedimentary rocks, metamorphic rocks, and igneous rocks. I would define sedimentary rocks as the compacted and cementated form of sediments.
1. Rocks and minerals are different because rocks are made of minerals, while minerals are not made of rocks.
2. Igneous rocks are formed when magma hardens and metamorphic rocks are formed by changes in temperature, pressure, or by hot fluids. A metamorphic rock can melt and cool to form an igneous rock, or an igneous rock can change with heat and pressure to form a metamorphic rock.
3.The rock cycle consists of many processes. A sedimentary rock forms a metamorphic rock by heat and pressure. Then the metamorphic rock melts into magma and cool to form an igneous rock. When that igneous rock weathers and erodes, it makes sediments which compact and cement to form another sedimentary rock.
4. When rocks are eroded and weathered, the chemical elements of the minerals are not lost or destroyed, but redistributed in other forms. This illustrates the principle of conservation of matter.
5. Magma is hot liquid formed by melting metamorphic rock. Sediments are loose pieces of minerals and rocks that are made from weathered and erosed igneous rocks, and a sedimentary rock is the result of the compaction and cementation of sediments.
1. Rocks differ from minerals in the way that rocks are mixture of one or more common minerals.
2. Igneous rock forms by magma cooling, while metamorphic rock forms by igneous or sedimentary rock gaining heat and pressure. They both can transform into any of the three major rock types.
3. The major processes of the rock cycle are igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic melting and changing into magma, going through weathering and erosion to become sediments, and cooling after melting to transform into igneous rock.
4. Rock cycle can illustrate the principle of conservation of matter by showing that the elements are never destroyed or created, and that they are just redistributed in other forms.
5. I would define magma as the temporary form of rocks when they melt, sediments as crumbled form of rocks, and sedimentary rocks as sediments compacted into a rock form.
1. Q: Explain how rocks differ from minerals.
MA: The difference between rocks and minerals is that rocks are made out of several types of compounds while minerals are made out of only one type of compound.
2. Q: Compare and contrast igneous and metamorphic rock formation.
MA: Igneous rock is formed by magma cooling down. But when heat and pressure is added to igneous rocks, it becomes a metamorphic rock. Another difference is that metamorphic rock is more dense than the igneous rocks.
One similarity is that both rocks erodes to sediments and both melts into magma.
3. Q: Describe the major processes of the rock cycle.
MA: The major processes of the rock cycle are sediments, sedimentary rocks, metamorphic rock, magma, and then into igneous rock. After the igneous rock it erodes back to sediments. When sediments gets compaction and cementation, it becomes a sedimentary rock. When heat and pressure is added, metamorphic rock is formed. It can also become a magma by melting. when metamorphic rocks melts, it becomes a magma. Magma can be turned into igneous rock after it cools down. If igneous rocks gets heat and pressure, it becomes a metamorphic rock. But it can also become a sediment after erosion.
4. Q: Explain one way that the rock cycle can illustrate the principle of conservation of matter.
MA: When igneous rock gets heat heat and pressure, it gets smaller and becomes a metamorphic rock. Even though it looks as if some compounds disappeared, the compounds in the rock just got closer to each other because of the pressure.
5. Q: Think Critically - How would you define magma based on the illustration in Figure 2? How would you define sediment and sedimentary rock?
All rocks becomes magma. It may take a few years or it might take billions of years. Sedimentary rock is a concentrated version of the sediments. And sediments are fragments of the rocks.
I just checked the website and it said that there was 0 comment so I was worried if the sending didn't work. so I'm sending it again...
1. Minerals are usually made directly out of elements, while rocks are made out of minerals them selves.
2. Igneous is made when magma cools. Metamorphic is made when heat and pressure compacts rocks.
3. Igneous rocks are made of molten rocks, and are eroded and compacted into sedementry rocks. Sedmentry is compressed into metamorphic, which is then melted into lava or eroded.
4. It shows that all the rocks become something else instead of being created or destroyed.
5. Magma is a liquid rock melted by the heat of earth's core. Sediments are fragments of rocks that were eroded at one point.
