岩石循环SOEE1620The Rock Cycle: 课程内容: 本课程将向学生介绍岩石作为材料的基本知识,以及地球表面岩石之间的联系和不同岩石类型形成的过程。其中关键的是岩石和矿物识别技能、手持放大镜和岩石显微镜的使用,以及准确记录和综合观察结果的能力。总体而言,地球科学是一门观察科学,因此能够进行精确观察是一项基本技能。
The rock cycle describes the endless natural recycling processes that rocks undergo on the restless Earth, continually changing over millions of years due to processes such as erosion and tectonic plate motions. The rock cycle is particularly active where tectonic plates meet. The cycle begins with ...
In the rock cycle the three main rock types are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Arrows connecting the three rock types show the processes that change one rock type into another. The cycle has no beginning and no end. Rocks deep within the Earth are right now becoming other types of ...
This introduction to rock types focuses on processes of erosion, sedimentation, and metamorphism, as well as melting of rocks and crystallisation of magmas. Landforms that are typical for the respective rock types are also presented. We explore the fossil reefs of the Dolomites and karst forms ...
The Rock Cycle describes the process the earth uses to recycle rocks. Yes, even rocks are recycled.
5. Allocate an appropriate amount of time for clean-up (~ 5 minutes). 6. After the room in cleaned up and the students are back at their seats, introduce the next activity. a. This is a unit centered on caves so briefly discuss how the processes of the rock cycle are the driving ...

A fascinating aspect of convergent margins is that they embrace all elements of the rock cycle. As new continental crust is created in magmatic arcs, subaerial and tectonic erosion come into play to counterbalance its growth. Sediments and tectonic debris are eventually transported to trenches where...
