Essential Vocabulary & Concepts
Plate Tectonics: Earth's crust is divided into parts called plates that float on top of molten rock (mantle) inside Earth. Subduction: plate movement can push rocks down towards the mantle where pressure and heat can change rockColliding Continental Plates: press and squeeze rocks, transforming them and building mountains, volconoes, islands, and faults
Picture Core Knowledge or Concept
Science Skills
The rock cycle : Forces inside Earth and at the surface produce a rock cycle that builds, destroys, and changes the rocks in the crust.
Rocks change from one type to another in many possible paths.
Igneous Plate Tectonics: Earth's crust is divided into parts called plates that float on top of molten rock (mantle) inside Earth.
  • Subduction: plate movement can push rocks down towards the mantle where pressure and heat can change rock
  • Colliding Continental Plates: press and squeeze rocks, transforming them and building mountains, volconoes, islands, and faults
  Weathering: Surface rock is constantly being broken down by natural forces such as wind, water, ice, and living things.
Erosion:
The movement of broken bits of rock by wind, water, and ice with the force of gravity.
  • Sediments: include cobbles, pebbles, sand, and clay (Soil) that have been deposited (dropped off) by erosion.
    • broken bits of rock are pulled down by gravity. i.e. beach sand, mountain skree, mud and soil
  • Chemical Weathering:
    • acid from water and living things can dissolve some types of rocks
    • oxygen in the air can react with metals and other chemicals in the rocks.
  • Mechanical Weathering: moving things break down rock
    • wind and water can pelt rock with sand and grit.
    • Plants and animals can dig into and pry apart rock.
    • Water can get into cracks, freeze, and pry apart rock.
   
Igneous  Igneous Rock: is formed from magma
  • Magma is superheated rock material that flows like a fluid (lava.)
  •  Rock: formed from lava breaking through the crust and cooling (volcanoes, sea vents, fissures or cracks)
  • Intrusive Rock: formed from magma cooling under the crust's surface.
  • Crystalization: when atoms in cooling rock form regular and repeating pattterns. (salt, diamonds)
 Metamorphic Sedimentary Rock:  is made from rock particles (sediment) that are bonded together to form rock.
  • Erosion: running water or wind loosen and carry away the fragments of rock.
  • Deposition: the process by which sediment settles out of wind or water.
  • Lithificaton: the process of becoming rock in the Earth's crust. Includes:
  • Compaction: sediment is pressed together to form rock
  • Cementation: dissolved minerals glue particles together.
Metamorphic
Metamorphic Rock:  Heat and pressure deep beneath Earth's surface can change any rock into metamorphic rock.
  • Melting: higher and lower temperatures can change the chemistry and crystal structure of rocks
  • Cooling: faster and slower cooling can change how crystals form and rocks harden
  • Pressure in different directions can squeeze and change the structure and patterns in rock.
