Kit: Rocks Rocks are everywhere‚ they cover the whole earth. It is the foundation of the surface we live in. So‚ we basically live on rocks. They can be a part of a 5000 old year old ancient pyramid to the cement we walk on under our feet as we take a stroll on the street or in the park. When I started collecting rocks as a hobby a couple years ago‚ I found that there are many different types of rocks. Just not only the shape‚ texture‚ colour and size‚ but also where the rock originates

Three Types of Rocks: There are three types of rocks and these three types of rocks are igneous‚ metamorphic‚ and sedimentary. These rocks all form differently. These rocks all can be made into another type of rock but they all are different and have probably been many different types of rocks. Igneous rocks form from cooling lava or magma. Igneous rocks that cool from lava have a much shorter cooling time than rocks that cool from magma‚ this is because magma is underneath the earths surface

the hot lava fragments and clouds of dust erupting from Vulcano came from Vulcan’s forge as he beat out thunderbolts for Jupiter‚ king of the gods‚ and weapons for Mars‚ the god of war. 2. What is the difference between magma and lava? •Molten rock below the surface of the Earth that rises in volcanic vents is known as magma‚ but after it erupts from a volcano it is called lava 3. What are the main types of volcanoes? •cinder cones‚ composite volcanoes‚ shield volcanoes‚ and lava domes.

Rock Harmony (Andy Goldsworthy: “Rock Creation”) Richard Lipoczi Art 100 Jennifer Monroe 04/25/2013 Andy Goldsworthy is a British naturalist artist‚ mostly sculptor and photographer‚ creating in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. He is still alive in these days. All his works draw on their themes from the nature: he uses only natural materials in their original environments to his works. He expresses his thoughts through transforming the natural matters to certain kinds of

Equilibrium phase composition of the system is calculated as a function of existing conditions. This article primarily explains the theory and method of thermodynamic modeling as applied to magmatic systems. The use of thermodynamic modeling in igneous petrology as an approach complimentary to the conventional geochemical modeling is also explored. 1|Page Introduction Magmas are the hot molten bodies produced by melting events within solid Earth. Most magmas exist as physically heterogeneous
