I learned three new things about the rock cycle.

1: It is called metamorphism when rocks change.
2: 2 kinds of intrusive igneous rocks are granite amd gabbro.
3: 2 properties of extrusive igneous rocks are they are fine grained and they may contain gas bubbles.

1. I learned that there are three things that the rock cycle does
2. Limstoe changes into marble
3. Granite becomes gneiss

Three new things I learned today are........

1.rocks have a long life cycle.

2.the rock cycle takes a really long time.

3.intrusive rocks are granite and gabbro and extrusive rocks are basalt and pumice.

Three new things I learned About the rock cycle are...

1.The heavier particles are dumped first in deposition.

2.Extrusive igneous rocks properties are they are very fine grained.And they may contain gas bubbles.

3.Basalt and pumice are both extrusive igneous rocks.

1.I learned that intrusive rocks have crystals in them.
2.That granite metamorphisis into gneiss.
2.That granite and gabbro are intrusive igneous rocks.

I leared the cycle of a rock;l. I also learned Intrusive and Extrusive.I learned that Sedametary.

I leared 2 things today 1.it makes new rock 2.distroys old rock 3.it recicles agen and agen!

Here 3 things I learn about today.
1.The 4 more of igneous rock 1baslat 2 pumice 3 grained 4 gabbro.

2.Iknow how magma move it's themantie.

3.Limestone can change into marble.

Three new things I learned about the rock cycle are...
1.That when rocks rocks sink after being carried across a river, they sink in order.
2.That rocks melt.
3.That rocks get carried away by a river.

These are three new things I learned about the rock cycle.

1.when rocks change they need pressures and temperatures.
2.Two intrusive igneos rocks are granite and gabbro.
3.There are three things that cause rocks to break down.

Thes are the things I learned

Three new things I leared about the rock cycle is...
1.2 kinds of Igneous intrusive rocks are Basalt and Pumice.
2.When it rains and rocks break apart it can be one tipe of Weathering ether Bioiogical Physical or Chemical
3.2 types of extrusive Igneous rocks are Granite and Gabbro.

i learned 3 new things all about rocks and it is .......

1. biological weathering is rocks break from tree routs getting into of the rocks.and that physical weathering is rocks crak and brack this is happing because the rocks get bigger and smaller when its hot or cold.chemical weathering is when things like acid rain and other chemicals can dissolv a rock .


2.erosion is when a rock is brocken up and gets moved around.


3.what rocks are dumped frist during deposition? heaver rocks and coverd with thiner miniral

Anonymous said...

3 new things I learned is :

1)Clay or minerals like silica or calcite keeps particles stuck together
2)Biological Weathering is 1 type of Weathering
3)Granite can change into gneiss.

I learned that Biological Weathering mean`s that 'rocks can breaks by the roots of a tree. Physical weathering can make a rocks cracks frezze the cracks and it will break.Chemical weathering makes orther rocks dissolve.

I learned

1.A erosion is when rocks are transported.

2.Shale turnds into mudstone.

3.Limestone turnds into marble

Anonymous said...

1. one thing i learned today was that magma can sometimes melt the rocks in the earths crust.

2: that a plant roots can get into cracks in a rock and break it

3: that rain can also get into rocks and crack them open

1. Pressure and heat can make rocks change.
2. Magma is less dense than the surrounding rocks so it moves up.
3. Basalt and pumice are extrusive igneous rocks.

dear MRS.Sheber I like all the stuff you taught me. I learned a lot from you. I like being in your 3rd grade class. You taught me a lot of things I didn't know about.
